BAARC STORIES
aid recipient
“I can’t begin to let you know how much your help and that of BAARC allowed me and my family to survive during the last 9 months. Thanks for all of your help, financially and emotionally/mentally."
COMMITTEE
"Networking at events is nice, but volunteering for a committee allowed me to create real, meaningful relationships with industry peers. I know that if I ever need anything, my fellow committee members will be there with advice, connections and support."
MENTOR
“I was honored to be a part of the BAARC mentoring program. Helping my mentee and watching her achieve her goal of being an outside sales pro was inspiring and rewarding!”
