Speaker Biography

Bianca Rawlings, Director of Membership and Development, Texas Public Employees Association

Bianca Rawlings has spent her career working alongside associations and nonprofits that exist to protect and serve people who deserve better, from protecting Texas women and children to promoting Texas’s rising star scientists and researchers. Wherever the mission mattered, she showed up to make a difference. That's exactly why she's proud to serve Texas state employees and retirees as Director of Membership and Development at the Texas Public Employees Association (TPEA). Texas public employees show up every single day for the state, and TPEA shows up for them. The heart of the organization's work is advocacy, being a voice at the Capitol and the person in the room fighting for members’ rights, livelihoods and futures when decisions are made that affect them. That's the work Bianca is here to protect, grow and strengthen. In just under three months with TPEA, Bianca has already launched a range of new member initiatives, among them AI for Texas State Employees, the free DIR-accredited course she's presenting today. It's a reflection of how TPEA works, moving fast to deliver real value to the people who keep Texas running. When she's not advocating for members, Bianca can be found reading, dancing or searching for the best new restaurant in Austin.
