BCR is committed to developing and sustaining civic relationships. This has been evidenced in our ability to engage a widely diverse group of community organizations and individuals that have provided feedback for programming principles and evaluation of BCR’s project goals.
Already, dozens of diverse organizations, individuals, and businesses have contributed to initial success and momentum of BCR. These groups seek to expand awareness of issues such as: freedom of speech, cultural identity, arts and humanities, public health, environment, disability awareness, social welfare, women’s issues, and public governance.
