Bay Localize is building a broad network of stakeholders, including academics, researchers, nonprofits, business leaders, policymakers, students (college and high school), and volunteers to forward the localization agenda in our region. The organization is structured as a collaborative with an active Steering Committee, Board of Advisors, Consultative Advisors, and set of Project Teams.

Organizational Structure:

• Steering Committee – Comprised of the key "drivers" of the organization's ongoing project work, finances, and outreach activities. These individuals meet 1-2 times per month to determine program priorities, manage the budget, set fundraising goals, and conduct long-term strategic planning for the organization's success.
