I have been a member of BABC since August 2021.  Since joining, the contacts I’ve made through the office, and from other fellow members have been invaluable in my work. Also, the various events that BABC organizes, including the annual VC event and Economic Luncheon are extremely informative and a great way to meet new and interesting people. I should add that the Christmas party held annually at the SF Fairmont hotel is always great fun – allowing our organization (as a co-sponsor of the event) an excellent opportunity to invite and mingle with clients and with other internationally-minded guests.
