What is the Monterey County Business Council?
 |

 |
 A membership only organization, the Monterey County Business Council is a 501(c)(6), comprised of professionals from business, government, and education working together on countywide issues. Founded in 1995, the non-profit corporation seeks to promote the concept of private-public partnerships by bringing business experience and techniques to the public arena.

Why is there a Business Council?
 |

 |
 A business voice is needed to remind our elected and appointed officials where the money comes from to support their decisions — from jobs and taxes — and to balance special interest pressures.
IF THE BUSINESS COUNCIL DID NOT EXIST TODAY IN MONTEREY COUNTY, BUSINESS LEADERS WOULD CREATE ONE!
