The Bay Area Community Council (BACC) is currently conducting research to assess how community leaders perceive the BACC and to identify key issues facing the greater Green Bay area.
Community leaders participating in several BACC discussion groups identify two major challenges facing the future of our community: 1) workforce development and 2) the growing diversity of our population. The BACC also conducted a survey of community leaders in business, nonprofits, government, and education.

The insights from the discussion groups and the survey demonstrate consensus on these two challenges.
