BACC is an advocate for businesses, helping members to succeed by growing their Businesses and prospering through networking, business management assistance, exposure, education and referrals.
BACC is known for being the voice of business with government leaders about issues involving our communities. Opportunities exist to address important legislative issues at local, state and national levels with a unified voice. The Chamber stays informed and strives to take a proactive stand on issues that affect the business and residential community.
BACC is also the official voice for the BACC communities, helping to coordinate the resources and talents of local business people with issues from economic development to revitalization efforts of our downtown to schools, taxes and transportation. We serve as advocates for the interests of commerce.
BACC also serves as the visitor's resource center, promoting our villages to the many callers inquiring about the Barrington area as a destination to Live, Work and Do Business.
