Advisory Board on Leadership in Community Involvement

Comprised of experienced, forward-looking professionals, the Advisory Board on Leadership in Community Involvement serves as a unique and powerful forum. Members meet throughout the year to advance the vital work their companies undertake for the benefit of various communities.

Access to more in-depth content is available to BCCCC members. 

This advisory board, comprised of corporate giving and community involvement veterans like you, form a supportive roundtable that takes an active, engaged approach to both informing and getting counsel on questions like: 



  • How might we continue to make an impact with smaller budgets?
  • How do we manage giving percentages with significant variability and fluxuation of annual revenue?
  • How are you handling employee giving and matching gifts?
  • How should we best manage scholarship programs?
  • How best can we offer aid and relief amidst natural disasters and geopolitical conflicts?
