Member Participation

Jim Wunderman, President & CEO, hosts frequent Member Orientations to review the framework of the Bay Area Council, its current initiatives and vision for the future. These are good opportunities for new members to engage in dialogue on issues and interests important to them.

Although we are a council of business leaders, participation is not limited to your company’s CEO. Senior staff is encouraged to participate so that you stay informed on all initiatives of interest. Participation is a very important part of your membership and our ability to influence policy. The Membership Director will work with you to develop participation and benefit profile that meets your needs.
