Throughout Douglas County, diverse industry groups effectively represent the legislative interests of small blocks of business. However, it is rare that diverse businesses come together to advocate for the issues that impact the total business climate and economic health of Douglas County. Creating a cohesive and proactive voice that achieves real results for all businesses is a key component of BCDC’s mission.

BCDC members select issues that are the most relevant and timely to business when setting event and policy agendas. Our close contact with political representatives enables us to propose and initiate legislation, and our events and programs enable the public and our members to personally interact with business, government and non-profit leaders.
