Our Committees

Our committees are open to all members who want to get involved, stay informed, and help shape the work of the Alliance. These groups create space for collaboration, discussion, and idea-sharing across key issues impacting our business community. Whether you’re looking to engage more deeply, build relationships, or contribute your perspective, committees are a great place to start.

Environmental committee tours ecology

  • The BASC Education Committee supports Sonoma County's future workforce by advancing workforce development initiatives, participating in education-focused partnerships, and fundraising for early literacy programs. Through these efforts, the committee has contributed more than $70,000 to support workforce development and early literacy across our region.

  • The BASC Environmental Committee brings together business, government, and environmental leaders to advance practical solutions that support both a strong economy and responsible stewardship. Meeting monthly, the committee tours local businesses and industries with innovative environmental practices, engages with key stakeholders and elected officials, and helps ensure the business community has a voice in the environmental policies shaping Sonoma County's future.

  • The BASC Membership Committee is dedicated to creating an exceptional experience for our members, guests, and prospective members. By fostering a welcoming culture, planning networking opportunities, and organizing our annual fundraiser, the committee helps ensure every interaction with BASC delivers meaningful value and lasting connections.

  • The BASC Programs Committee meets quarterly to develop our annual lineup of educational programs and identify the issues shaping Sonoma County's business community. Working closely with the Board of Directors, the committee selects timely topics, recruits speakers, and enhances each event to ensure our programs are relevant, engaging, and valuable for members.

Our Advisories

Our advisories are designed for members with specific industry expertise and experience. Participation is by application or invitation to ensure thoughtful, high-level conversations on complex topics. These groups provide insight, guidance, and informed perspectives that help shape the Alliance’s positions and priorities on issues impacting Sonoma County’s economy.

  • The BASC Water Supply Advisory Committee brings together leaders who play an active role in Sonoma County's water system through their professional expertise and community leadership. As needed, the committee meets with key stakeholders, water agencies, and elected officials to advocate for a healthy, reliable water supply, stay informed on regional water issues, and ensure the business community has a voice in the conversations shaping our water future.

  • The BASC Transportation Advisory Committee brings together professionals who lead and shape Sonoma County's transportation system through their work beyond BASC. Meeting as needed, the committee shares information, identifies solutions, and keeps the organization informed on the movement of people and goods, helping ensure transportation remains a key part of conversations about our region's economic future.

  • The BASC Political Action Committee (PAC) supports the election of candidates and the advancement of ballot measures that promote a strong, business-friendly Sonoma County. This application-based committee has limited membership and raises funds independently of BASC membership dues to support its work. Contributions are always welcome to help advance its mission.
