LEADING WITH PURPOSE
A nationally competitive East Bay, where businesses, workers, and communities succeed together. That's our purpose.
The East Bay Leadership Council is an employer-led public policy advocacy organization working to strengthen the economy and quality of life across Contra Costa and Alameda counties. For nearly 90 years, we have brought employers and civic leaders together to advance practical, nonpartisan solutions to the region's biggest challenges. Today, our members support more than 50,000 jobs and generate more than $60 billion in economic impact, giving EBLC a powerful, credible voice on the issues shaping the East Bay's future.
If your organization is ready to lead on the issues shaping the East Bay's future, you're in the right place.
Helping Businesses Start, Stay, and Grow
Building and sustaining a successful business takes creativity, commitment, and a policy environment that supports growth. EBLC works to ensure the East Bay remains competitive, innovative, and attractive to employers of all sizes. We advocate for the conditions that let businesses start, stay, and grow, and that keep good jobs here for the workers who depend on them.
Advancing A HIGH Quality of Life
Economic vitality and quality of life go hand in hand. We champion policies that invest in reliable transportation, expand access to health care, preserve open space, strengthen workforce systems, and address the region's housing needs. By aligning economic strength with community well-being, we work to keep the East Bay a place where businesses, workers, and residents can all thrive.
