Since the 1960s, Boone County Related Agencies Association (BCRAA) has provided an excellent opportunity for agencies and individuals in the field of human services to networ k and collaborate.  Members represent a broad and diverse range of professional positions and areas of focus.  Individuals and agencies benefit from what BCRAA has to offer in a number of ways.

1. BCRAA brings human service providers together monthly so they can exchange program information, provide updates, and publicize services.

2. BCRAA offers a variety of opportunities for professional development through committee participation, as well as educational programs and workshops and pertinent and time ly issues.

3. In addition, BCRAA enables members to network and share information through special activities outside of monthly meetings.

Meetings

BCRAA meetings are held the first or second Tuesday of every month from 12:00 to 1:00pm.  The meetings include time to network, a business meeting, and a specific focus for the day, such as a presentation from selected local social service organizations. 

Membership

The BCRAA membership year runs from June 1 through May 31. Annual dues entitles you to receive a member packet, directory listing, workshop discounts, voting privileges, and monthly e-mail newsletter.

(Note: as of June 2008, the organization is meeting informally and is not collecting dues at this time.)

There are two types of membership.  Individuals can join, as well as multiple representatives of an organization that provides human services.
