Programs

Building social capital is a primary benefit for many professional associations, and this is an excellent strength for BCA. The Association has always excelled with its networking events through a regular program of quality social programs held throughout the year. For many years, the Annual Golf Outing and Christmas Gala have hosted capacity turnouts of more than 250 participants. The spring and fall membership events bring a little business and recognition into the socializing mix. The spring program honors outstanding projects and people from the northeast Indiana construction industry as the Excellence in Construction and Safety Excellence Awards are presented. The fall program highlights a recent construction project with a keynote address and presentation of BCA Service Awards - the Summit, Gold Medal, and Centennial Awards.

A great benefit of BCA events is when a member participates, he or she mingles and talks with business people from the market in which they conduct business. Unlike state or national association events, BCA events offer opportunities for networking with other business professionals who are seen on an ongoing basis during the members' regular business activities, not people they only see once a year at annual conventions.
