membership and community love taking the time to reflect on work and accomplishments from the
previous year as we look forward to new and exciting things to come,” said BACC’s Chief
Operating Officer Jamie Rayford. “We love that this year’s event has already grown larger than
any past meeting and we want to continue to offer more and more Independence County
