Each summer, BCA is honored to welcome student interns from across the state who bring fresh ideas, strong work ethics, and a passion for making a difference.

Our interns recently met with President & CEO Helena Duncan to share their goals, learn from her leadership experience, and discuss the opportunities ahead for Alabama’s business community.

These students represent the next generation of Alabama’s workforce. Their ambition, curiosity, and drive are a reminder that our state's future is in good hands. We are proud to invest in their growth and grateful to have them as part of the BCA team this summer.

The 2026 election cycle was a turning point for Alabama’s business community.

Together, we built the strongest political program in our organization's history and sent a clear message: leaders who support economic growth and job creation have a strong ally in BCA, and those who stand in the way of Alabama's economic future will be held accountable.

As we move toward the runoff and general elections, we remain committed to advancing policies that strengthen Alabama’s economy, create opportunity, and improve the quality of life across our state. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your investment in Alabama’s future.
