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.
In lieu of an October meeting, GRCA encourages you to consider attending the upcoming 222 Corridor Latino Economic Summit. This regional gathering will explore the growing economic influence of Pennsylvania’s Latino community through conversations on business growth, workforce development, access to capital, entrepreneurship, government contracting, infrastructure, and regional investment.
To those interested in joining the BCAC outreach list for the next meeting, please reach out to GRCA's Director of Advocacy, Alex Roche (aroche@greaterreading.org), for more details.
