Huntsville-Madison County Chapter
Our Contributions Matter.
Our vision is to enable the growth of Black government employees as they advance their careers in public service.
During its existence, the HSV BIG chapter has sponsored free employment seminars at local churches to provide information to persons seeking employment with government and private sector companies. The chapter also co-sponsored a seminar on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Equal Employment Opportunity) alongside the local NAACP branch with presentations by the staff from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Birmingham. In 1993, the chapter sponsored its first Professional Development Seminar for local federal sector employees, which was a success.
The chapter has supported Youth Programs developed by the national organization that included an oratorical contest and an information superhighway computer competition. The chapter has also sponsored employment related luncheon programs and banquets with guest speakers from within and outside the government. Presentations on personnel issues and equal employment opportunity have been conducted that served to educate BIG chapter members on employment areas of concern to them.
