Invest in a stronger, more resilient Bay Area

Bay Planning Coalition brings together the organizations and leaders who build, manage, regulate, and protect the Bay Area’s infrastructure, natural resources, and waterfront economy.

BPC membership provides more than access to events. It provides a seat at the table where regional priorities, regulatory reforms, funding opportunities, and resilience strategies are shaped and advanced.

How the Membership Explorer Works

BPC membership levels are based primarily on organization type and, where applicable, the number of employees your organization has within the nine Bay Area counties. Your responses to a few additional questions will help identify whether another membership level may better reflect the event access, visibility, and engagement your organization values.

The result is intended to provide a starting point for a conversation with BPC staff about the membership option that best fits your organization.
