The Business Council of Alabama (BCA) has ten policy committees that bring together diverse professional experience on issues of importance to business. Each committee provides excellent opportunities for participants to share information and coordinate their pro-business efforts for maximum effectiveness.
Members are encouraged to participate on any committee and attend the corresponding meeting committee meetings held in the fall. These meetings allow committee members to help shape the following year’s legislative priorities. For more information or to join a policy committee, please contact William Newman at (334) 834-6000.
