Bay Area Public Agency Council

The Bay Area Public Agency Council represents the 9-county San Francisco Bay Area, as well as Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. Build It Green's NC PAC meets quarterly at varying locations around the Bay Area to accomodate participants from all regions.

Participation in the Bay Area PAC is not limited to Public Agency representatives from Northern California, however, presentations and updates given during the meetings are applicable to the region.

Depending on outside funding sources and the availability of local host agencies, a $10 to $15 fee per council meeting applies. Please check the individual meeting postings as the fee changes from meeting to meeting. Build It Green strives to make these meetings available free of charge to everyone, but this is not always possible.
