The TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce (TCACC) Foundation, Inc.

The TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce (TCACC) Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 2002, as an affiliate of the TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce, to promote community and workforce development in western Montgomery, southeastern Berks, and northern Chester Counties. The Foundation provides funding for initiatives that support the vocational career development needs of the region’s public-school districts as an Educational Improvement Organization as dedicated by the state. Through the Foundation the Chamber also facilitates Leadership TriCounty and REACH.

Leadership TriCounty is our tuition-based program administered through the TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Inc. Since its inception in 1993, the program has prepared more than 200 community members for leadership positions in the tri-county area. Each Leadership class is comprised of individuals who have been selected for their potential to expand their involvement in the development of the tri-county area. Each member has made a demonstrated commitment to leadership in both their community and place of employment. These individuals represent business and industry, government, the arts, volunteer and social organizations, education, professional groups, labor, hospitals, and utilities.

REACH is not an acronym but a philosophy to REACH out and take the hand of someone who needs us to help pull them up. We REACH out and share our time, talents, and gifts with others who need support, and we offer professional development to REACH for our career goals. Programming is designed by an active committee of professional women focusing on bringing together professionals in the tri-county region to network, build relationships, and access professional development and educational opportunities designed to empower and inspire. Formerly WOW: Women of the Workforce, REACH officially launched in June 2019. REACH Programming is under the TCACC Foundation, Inc. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a purpose of fostering community development and leadership and as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Foundation is eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions and depends partly on donations from businesses.
