About

SF Bay Area is a thriving and diverse chapter made up of communications professionals and volunteers who reflect the innovative spirit of the Bay Area. We’re passionate industry advocates, and we support members at all stages in their careers in meeting their professional and leadership goals.

We offer networking, professional development and volunteer opportunities at events in San Francisco and the East Bay, in addition to ongoing education and certification resources available through IABC International.

We are the local chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators, the only premier global professional association for communications professionals across disciplines. (Visit www.iabc.com to learn more.)

SF Bay Area IABC has a broad footprint in the Bay Area and outlying cities ― from the Golden Gate bridge to the Santa Cruz mountains, the East Bay hills to the Peninsula, even as far north as Sacramento down to the Central Valley.

• Fortune 50 companies
• Start-ups
• Non-profit organizations and foundations 
• Government and academic institutions
• PR, Brand and creative agencies

SF Bay Area IABC’s vast network also includes independent communicators and freelancers, students and retirees.  

Our chapter is here to serve our members by building community, empowering people to make connections, and enhancing career mobility.
