The purpose of Baldwin County United is to promote, support, and encourage understanding between Baldwin County's diverse communities through cooperative actions designed to improve the economic wellbeing and quality of life for citizens living within the community of Baldwin County. Baldwin County is a progressive and financially stable organization with a balanced membership that represents the
entire county. It is a highly effective institution that has a reputation for the fair and balanced examination of issues. Dedicated to consensus building, BCU works to promote understanding and relationships. The organization acts as a bridge builder between neighbors, both within Baldwin County and between Baldwin Countians and the residents of other counties.
