Joint Statement from Kristina Lawson, Chair of the Bay Area Council, and Jed York, Chair of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group

After thoughtful consideration, the Bay Area Council and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group have jointly decided to conclude formal discussions about creating a unified organization. While we will not move forward with a merger at this time, both organizations remain committed to collaboration and will continue to work to advance the priorities that matter most to our region’s future.

We are deeply grateful to our member companies and board members for their engagement, insights, and support throughout this process. We look forward to building on our shared values and complementary strengths as we tackle the Bay Area’s most pressing challenges together.
