Join Us for Our First Dinner Meeting of 2025!

We’re excited to invite you to our first dinner meeting of the year this Thursday at Zio Fraedo’s. Spots are filling up fast, so sign up today to secure your place!

Exciting Improvements for 2025:

Our ad hoc committee has been hard at work brainstorming and implementing new ideas to enhance our dinner meetings. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Flyers: Expect more informative flyers with contact hour details and a bulleted list of key takeaways.
• Marketing/Outreach: We’re broadening our reach by posting events on LinkedIn to ensure more members stay informed.
• Locations & Regional Cross Marketing: In addition to hosting joint meetings with the Santa Clara Valley Section and the Redwood Empire Section, we will expand our collaboration by hosting a dinner meeting in Livermore to connect with the Northern San Joaquin Section.
• Early Bird Pricing & Sponsors: To manage rising costs, we’re introducing early bird pricing and actively seeking sponsors. Alcohol will be provided by sponsors only.

A huge thank you to Maxwell Armenta (EBMUD), Nick Hansen (Central San), Simon Kobayashi (EBMUD), Kwin Peterson (RH Borden), Amanda Roa (FSSD), Zaheer Shaikh (Arup), Nick Steiner (Delta Diablo), Billy Wong (Stantec) for volunteering their time and ideas on this ad hoc committee and for their meaningful impact to SFBS.
