Advocacy

The Birmingham Business Alliance creates increased economic prosperity in our region in part through our advocacy and governmental affairs work. BBA’s public policy efforts are aimed at addressing issues of regional significance to help move the region forward while providing a unified voice for the business community with our elected officials. The public policy division is the advocacy arm of the BBA and works closely with local, state and federal governments to further our mission.

BBA compiles annual legislative agendas, which determine the top advocacy items and priorities for the upcoming year. The agenda covers areas that affect economic development with a focus on economic growth, research and innovation, infrastructure and workforce development.
