Corporate council
The Corporate Council is a group of business leaders who help to strengthen Berkeley Rep’s relationships in the Bay Area business community by advocating the Theatre’s value as a key community and cultural resource. Council members work to sustain artistic excellence at Berkeley Rep by engaging the Bay Area business community as corporate sponsors, individual donors, audience members and key community partners. At the same time, Council members gain access to valuable networking opportunities and exclusive behind-the-scenes events.
To learn more about Corporate Council membership, please call Daria Hepps, Associate Director of Development, at 510 647–2904 or email dhepps@berkeleyrep.org.
