# A Unified Voice

The Black Hills Military Advisory Coalition seeks to unify the voices of our community leaders to strengthen the connection between the military and community.

## Our Pillars

Volunteers with the BHMAC are doing a lot around the community to support our military and their families. Through our three pillars, we aim to improve the quality of life for our service members and their families; increase community outreach and support; and continue to build on our thriving defense economy. If you are interested in serving on one of our Pillars, connect with the pillar chair.
