California Employer Advisory Council

San Mateo County EAC

September 2, 2010

Information Sheet

The purpose of the San Mateo County Employer Advisory Council (EAC) is to advise the EDD of means by which to provide effective employment services that are responsive to the needs of our local communities. The Council is also an avenue by which managers keep abreast of current trends and practices in the areas of personnel, administration, and management.

Management Information

The EAC provides managers and others with ideas and information to profitably serve their organizations and themselves, and to strengthen their management competence and professional growth. At the chapter level, fellow members share knowledge and experience on a wide variety of issues.

Personal Contacts

Local EAC chapter meetings offer an opportunity to develop a broad base of personal contacts with other members concerned with similar issues. The result is an exchange of ideas of inestimable value.

Meetings

Chapter meetings are held on a monthly basis, usually the fourth Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. Luncheon meetings include guest speakers who share a wide spectrum of information with members and guests. The cost to members for each luncheon is $33, the cost to non-members is $40.
