History
In the aftermath of the attacks in 2001, Sausalito resident Harry Chapman thought it was time to create a new community of consulting professionals. He had previously organized gatherings for parents at his son's school to meet with the faculty at lunches in San Francisco. Organizing an event and finding a venue for consultants seemed like a manageable task after having to coordinate schedules for overcommitted teachers and parents. Harry got together with Gary White of Pacific Crest Marketing, Inc., who had assisted him with the parents' meetings, and with his then coach, Karen Colligan of PeopleThink. They roped in the partners at Harry's consulting firm, Bay Area Consulting Group, LLC, especially Bill Gage, and formed the Bay Area Consultants Network. The first meeting was held at the San Francisco Yacht Club in Tiburon on Friday, May 24th, 2002, and had 62 attendees. We now meet at McInnis Golf Club, which serves bacon for breakfast.
