The views, topics and discussion expressed during BEC events do not reflect the views, beliefs or stances of any of the committee members, member business, or the Novato Chamber of Commerce. Topics are chosen based on the need for education and their relation to the mission of the Business Education Committee: to foster a thriving and informed business community by providing innovative education that is timely, relevant and balanced"

If political discussions are brought up, the aim is to present information with the goals of understanding a deeper appreciation and grasp of the topics. The goal is not to influence or coerce. The BEC works to provide balanced views and help the business community understand the fallout from political topics.
