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 weren’t able to join us at our last meeting, be sure to check out the BCAC blog for a quick recap and the meeting minutes.
Our next BCAC meeting will be held on February 13th from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the GRCA Center for Business Excellence. We will be joined by Senator Tracy Pennycuick, who will share insights on her work leading artificial intelligence legislation in the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
