Engage East Bay
Connecting Local Leaders to Nonprofit Board Opportunities
At the Contra Costa Economic Partnership we believe that engaged communities are thriving communities. We also know that nonprofit organizations are essential to addressing the most pressing issues facing the East Bay.
Yet many nonprofits struggle to recruit the board members they need to move their mission and our communities forward.
That's why we founded Engage East Bay in 2022 alongside the East Bay Leadership Council and with the support of our sponsor, Marathon Martinez Renewable Fuels, with the goal of matching local leaders ready to make a difference with nonprofits seeking new board members.
