Task Forces

The East Bay Leadership Council’s task forces serve as a vehicle for the organization’s policy priorities. These member-led groups identify issues, become informed, and recommend positions for the Board of Directors to consider for official advocacy. While EBLC’s policy platform expands beyond the issues covered at our monthly task force meetings, these groups help inform which issues to prioritize each year.

EBLC’s core goals of advancing equity, economic vitality, and quality of life are fundamental components of all task force activities.

Attending task force meetings allows you to engage on important policy issues affecting the region while learning and networking with other East Bay leaders.
