#WEAreBPIA Social Media Campaign Day

#WEAreBPIA: Social Media Campaign

September 1 | National BPIA Week 2026

Each year on September 1, the BPIA community comes together to celebrate #WEAreBPIA, our annual Founders' Day celebration honoring the people, purpose, and legacy that continue to shape our organization.

More than a social media campaign, #WEAreBPIA is an opportunity for members, alumni, partners, volunteers, and supporters to reflect on our shared journey while looking toward the future. Throughout the day, participants are invited to use their personalized BPIA Spotlight Framework to share their stories, celebrate their accomplishments, and highlight what being part of the BPIA community means to them across social media.

Whether you have been with BPIA for decades or recently joined our network, your voice is part of our story. Together, we celebrate the leaders who built this organization, recognize those advancing its mission today, and inspire the next generation of Black professionals in international affairs.

How to Participate

1. Download the official BPIA Spotlight Campaign Template
2. Personalize your copy with your photo, accomplishments, career highlights, or what BPIA means to you.
3. Share your completed spotlight on September 1 using #WEAreBPIA and tag @iabpia so we can celebrate your story with our community.
