Why EBLC?

The East Bay Leadership Council is an employer-led public policy advocacy organization advancing economic vitality and quality of life across Contra Costa and Alameda counties.

For nearly 90 years, we have brought employers together to shape regional policy and champion practical, nonpartisan solutions to the challenges facing the East Bay. Our members support more than 50,000 jobs and generate over $60 billion in economic impact, giving EBLC a credible and respected voice in local and state policy conversations.

Membership in EBLC means more than access to events. It means joining a coalition of employers committed to strengthening the region through collective action.
