“Considering how our mindscape determines what we focus on, what we see, how we react and how we influence others is a powerful way of thinking,” said John O’Connor, president of Career Pro, Inc., and chair of the Programming Committee for the BAC. “We are very excited to offer such specialized leadership training to our members.”

In 1997, Wake County and several private sector representatives created the Wake Area BAC. The BAC's mission is to develop and promote employment opportunities and resources, for participants of Wake County employment and training programs, through partnering with area businesses.
