Leading the way to new business
About Us
Founded in 1978 by leading Bay Area business and professional people, the Peninsula Executives Association connects members through networking, educational sessions, and special events—all in service of generating referrals and building relationships. Membership is limited to one representative per business classification, a rule that fosters cooperation over competition. The result is a diverse roster spanning accountants to web designers (we’re still hunting for our first zoologist), with plenty of room in between. See the full member list.
Thursday morning meetings
We meet each Thursday morning for a program that includes detailed educational or informative presentations about member businesses, trends or related topics, and a chance to exchange leads and the opportunity for all in attendance to introduce themselves and say a word about their business activities since the last meeting.
PEA Events
Open houses and social events
Members also host periodic open houses, giving colleagues and guests a firsthand look at their businesses in action. These visits build the kind of understanding that leads to stronger referrals—and often spark the exchange of best practices that sharpen everyone’s operations. Social events throughout the year, from Sharks games to holiday parties to picnics, round things out, keeping the group connected and building the relationships that make the whole network work.
