&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every BAC meeting includes legislative updates impacting businesses from city, county, state and federal representatives. All members are welcome to attend this virtual meeting; those who want to advocate for the rights of local businesses are invited to join the committee.

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Through our strong relationships with elected officials at all levels (city, county and state), we advocate for the rights of local businesses and take positions on proposed ordinances, rulings and legislation. The Business Advocacy Committee (BAC) is part of the&amp;nbsp;WVCBA&amp;rsquo;s commitment to representing the interests of business with government. The mission of the BAC is to carry out an advocacy program on behalf of WVCBA&amp;#39;s membership and business community within the governmental and political arenas and foster effective working relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
