His history with the Association spans 40-plus years, beginning in 1983 when he co-founded BDPA's Temple University Student Chapter with the late Juan Noyles shortly after hearing a 30-second radio spot on 105.3 WDAS FM from BDPA's Philadelphia Chapter. As a pioneer in the Association’s all-volunteer digital landscape, Carter served as the Chief High School Computer Competition (HSCC) Judge during #BDPACON in 1987.

Students demonstrated their #Ai model of Black teenagers' shopping habits at local malls during BDPACON, the Association's 1990 National Technology Conference in Washington, D.C. Carter also served as the Conference Chair and founded I+Plus Magazine in 1990. Carter was the Association's first national webmaster. With Silicon Graphics (SGI), Bell South, Metters Industries, Inc., and US Black Online as mission partners, BDPA migrated to the World Wide Web (WWW) from its bulletin board system (BBS) networks successfully launching bdpa.org during BDPACON in 1996.
