Business Advisory Council

The Business Advisory Council is a networking group of professionals dedicated to generating job opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Meeting monthly, the council collaborates with The Arc's employment experts and potential clients aiming to join the workforce. Through guidance and job leads, the council plays a vital role in facilitating potential placements.

Board Service

The Arc San Francisco operates under the guidance of a volunteer Board of Directors, alongside key staff and self-advocates. We greatly appreciate the insights and knowledge shared by our family members and the supportive circles of our clients. Typically, board members serve two three-year terms, with the possibility of an optional third term. They also have the opportunity to engage in board committees that convene before regular board meetings.

2023 Board meeting schedules can be found here.

For more information about Board service, download the Board Member application form and application instructions and email Kristen Pedersen, Executive Director. Application instructions may be found here.
