Government Affairs Committee

Committee Overview

Connecting Members to Regional Policy

The Government Affairs Committee guides BPC’s engagement on regional policy developments. Its work helps members understand emerging issues, shape BPC’s advocacy positions, and engage with elected officials and agencies.

Through the committee, BPC members bring a range of perspectives to legislative and regulatory discussions, identify issues that warrant coalition engagement, and help inform advocacy that reflects the economic, environmental, and infrastructure needs of the Bay Area.
