The Business and Community Advocacy Council (BCAC), hosted by the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA), serves as a collaborative network for public and private business professionals to engage in impactful advocacy. BCAC focuses on educating members about the policy-making process, identifying emerging policy issues, and fostering active participation in local and statewide advocacy efforts. By promoting pro-business advocacy statements, BCAC empowers members of all sizes to navigate and shape the legislative landscape effectively. We do this by utilizing GRCA’s Pro-Business Advocacy Statements to guide the collaboration and coalition building that leads our advocacy work.
The BCAC is excited to be offering a Berks Workforce Development panel discussion including many of our local leaders in that industry. Join us for this free panel discussion featuring Dr. Mike Stauffer from the Berk Career and Technology Center, Eric Kahler from the Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center, Dan Fogarty from the Berks County Workforce Development Board, and Keith Stamm from the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance as they the current issues facing the Berks County workforce and the career and technology to workforce pipeline.
To those interested in joining the BCAC outreach list, please reach out to GRCA's Director of Advocacy, Alex Roche (aroche@greaterreading.org), for more details.
