Terry Morris serves as Eli Lilly and Company’s Director of Global Services Solutions Information and Digital Solutions and National President of National Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) Organization. Terry not only embodied what hard work and values ingrained in faith and family can do professionally – he’s reinvested his strengths back into the community through volunteerism and intentional impact – something he considers his life motto. Morris graduated from Florida A&M University in 2000 with a degree in computer and information systems, and obtained a master’s degree in policy analysis from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in 2010. Terry has always had a passion to serve the community and to teach, but when an opportunity presented itself for him to visit Indianapolis to participate in a career planning conferences for college students at Lilly, he followed the opportunity, which quickly ignited an ongoing journey in the sciences. That journey included many professional achievements in six other positions prior to his current role at Eli Lilly. He wasted no time integrating his passion for service in education with his background and skills in IT, a fusion that would also open doors to his involvement and volunteerism with BDPA now as National President. Under his leadership the organization continues to stick true to the mission “From the classroom to the Boardroom” by equipping young African American students and professionals with the tools, resources, and network to be successful contributors to STEM.
