Description
The Bay Area Council is delighted to invite you to join our 80th Annual Dinner and Bay Area Business Hall of Fame, presented by Kaiser Permanente, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, from 5:15 to 8:30 p.m. at the historic Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.
For eight decades, this premier gathering has brought together the region’s most influential business, civic, and community leaders to celebrate the people and ideas shaping the Bay Area’s future. This year’s event will honor an extraordinary group of leaders whose vision, innovation, and community spirit have made an enduring impact on our region:

Chris Larsen, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Ripple.
Alex Mehran, Sr., Chairman, Sunset Development.
Clint Reilly, Founder and Chairman, Clint Reilly Organization, and Janet Reilly, Co-Founder and President, Clinic by the Bay.
Their induction into the Bay Area Business Hall of Fame reflects the enduring spirit of enterprise and civic responsibility that defines our region. We invite you to celebrate with us at this landmark 80th anniversary dinner — a night of inspiration, connection, and recognition.
We’re also looking forward to celebrating and honoring Jim Wunderman’s 22 years of remarkable leadership at the Bay Area Council. Jim leaves an incredible legacy, dramatically growing the Council in size and influence, championing the Bay Area as the world’s premier economy and producing some of the most consequential policy achievements in our 80-year history.
