Business and Community Advocacy Council Meeting featuring Morgan Boyd, the Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Department of Community and Economic Development

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.

If you would like to catch up on recent discussions, summaries are available on GRCA’s advocacy blog.
At our April meeting, we will be joined by Morgan Boyd, the Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Department of Community and Economic Development. He has agreed to join us to present on the Governor’s recently released Housing Action Plan. In addition to Morgan, we will be joined by Alan Piper from the Berks County Planning Department, who will be providing a brief update on the Reading Area Transportation Study.

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.
