Black Progress Matters

Mission Statement

​

 

Black Progress Matters’s core mission is to change the face of leadership in organizations worldwide through its various executive minority staffing activities.

​Black Progress Matters truly believes that in any organization, if you look to the top at the executive level and see a person of color, it will inspire everyone of color in that organization.  It speaks volumes about the character and true opportunity available in that organization - and this is what Black Progress Matters is dedicated to providing. 

– Dean Haynesworth, BPM CEO

BPM is built on the premise that if BPM can secure the opportunity to fill an executive opening for an organization with the best candidate [who is a person of color], BPM will begin to change the color of the executive suite while enhancing the aspiration of everyone of color within the organization.

​

BPM also provides for executive-level internships for students from historically black colleges and other minority sources, minority business representation, and an ambitious incubator program for the development and funding of minority-owned start-ups.  Developing successful Black ownership is an essential component of BPM’s core mission to change the color of the executive suite and ownership of organizations worldwide.
