About DACA
What Is DACA?
The Dallas Area Council of ABWA (DACA) is an organization of ABWA chapters and express
networks in the Dallas Area whose purpose is to facilitate unity and cooperation among the
Dallas area ABWA chapters and networks; to broaden networking among ABWA members;
and to heighten the business community’s awareness of ABWA and the contributions
members make toward the development an growth of women in the Dallas area.
DACA meetings are held on the first Saturday of the second month of each calendar quarter.
Members of each member chapter and network are encouraged to attend these meetings to
expand their potential networking, circle of friends and ABWA experience.
History of DACA
The Dallas Area Council of American Business Women’s Association was founded by the
original 1990 ABWA National Convention Officers: Emma Shelton – General Chair; Patricia
Van Winkle – Secretary; and Debbie Champion – Treasurer. These officers had such bundled
up energy and enthusiasm, they released it by forming a Dallas Area Council. The actual birth
of DACA was December 7, 1986 at a gathering at the Carrollton Library. Plans were
formalized on January 31, 1987 and the first DACA meeting took place February 1987.
DACA was created to bring together the area-wide chapters working on the 1990 ABWA
National Convention. Each chapter brings its own unique personality and talents to share
with the council. The objective in forming DACA was a sincere effort to get to know and
support one another, as well as pooling our diverse talents and resources for the common
good of all.
Since its inception, it has undergone many changes and wonderful growth so that today it
complements the chapters and networks, offering opportunities for knowledge and personal
development. DACA currently offers a special training session for new chapter officers and
committee chairs.
