Note: figure does not include air fare, car rental, hotel, travel allowance, or reimbursements, etc.
The city of Savannah claims NFBPA is an allowable expense under professional development.
Did the city of Savannah send all the people (below) a 1099 ( for the amounts of paying their NFBPA dues, forums, etc ?)
Since payment of their dues (by the City of Savannah) is considered compensation at the IRS, and it cannot be deducted as a business expense.
This compensation should be reported to the IRS and the employee must pay income tax on this compensation.
Annual dues for an individual were $210. NFBPA also offers Business Membership Dues in the following Categories:
• EXECUTIVE (Platinum) - $5,000
• MANAGEMENT (Gold) - $3,500
• ADMINISTRATIVE (Silver) - $2,500
• PROFESSIONAL (Bronze) - $1,500
• INTERN (Contributor) - $500
• PATRON (Below $500).
But the city of Savannah declares the individual memberships as "Professional" memberships. Yearly FORUMs are usually held each April, Leadership Conferences are held in February , and in between there are scholarship banquets,and then there is a Summer Leadership Conference held in August, and all require a registration fee.
Below are vendor records for direct payments to NFBPA - National Forum for Black Public Administrators, anyone can join but they must all agree to promote blacks over all others. See NFBPA mission statement at the end of this entry.

The City of Savannah has everything summed up in a raggy .pdf report here and when they total the amounts they are not consistent, for instance they do not include all payments to NFBPA in their totals but include all totals of let's say Fire Chief Association. The report is chopped up and not representing exactly what was spent to promote blacks only. They also list figures that are paid to attend Banquets, advertise jobs to promote black only newsletter, and Forums registrations, as memberships (which they are not). The city also on 7/2/2010 paid BRAVO MUSIC COMPANY 385.00 as a "Professional Membership", first, this is a conflict of interest since the city manager sits on the board of BRAVO music company and second, the bravo organization only promotes the black race and no others. Bravo stands for:
Black youth Reaching to Achieve in Vocal and Orchestral music.
Black youth Reaching to Achieve in Vocal and Orchestral music.
Mission Statement
National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA)
The mission of the NFBPA is embodied in the organization's commitment to strengthen the position of Blacks within the field of public administration; to increase the number of Blacks appointed to executive positions in public service organizations; and, to groom and prepare younger, aspiring administrators for senior public management posts in the years ahead.
The NFBPA mission is realized through the pursuit of the following important goals:
To serve the magnet organization for linking public, private and academic institutions into an effective network to support interdisciplinary communications, management innovation and professional development among Blacks choosing public service careers.
To provide intensive and rigorous training in critical management areas in response to the specialized needs of Black public sector professionals.
To identify and groom younger, emerging Black administrators and provide relevant exposure to the challenges and rewards of public service careers.
To conduct research on selected social and economic issues endemic to Blacks.
To sponsor and conduct national and regional forums that enable the discussion of timely issues and topical concerns of the Black community.
To develop and maintain a national information bank on the nation's growing Black public administrative leadership.
To promote, strengthen and expand the roles of Blacks in all aspects of public administration.

This is garbage. The City is obviously trying to hid the fact that they are paying for the memberships to an organization that practices blatant racial discrimination.
