Civic Leadership

Strong communities stem from individuals whose hopes and dreams are cherished, nurtured and realized. BCC is committed to building those communities and to enabling their citizens’ dreams to become realities.  We have deliberately built an organization that gives of its staff as well as its money.  That exchange forms a powerful link between us and the communities we serve.

Human capital is not on the BCC balance sheet. Nonetheless, it is a critical part of the organization—as important to the communities we serve as the financial capital we offer. Thus, from BCC’s inception over 25 years ago, we made a conscious decision to create a culture in which employees are encouraged to pursue their own civic participation, furthering BCC’s mission through their personal commitment. The result empowers both BCC and the community—creating networks among seemingly unrelated disciplines, providing hands-on assistance to the organizations we support, and deepening our own knowledge of the inner-workings of the communities where we work.
