Patron Membership

Overview

Patron Membership is designed for larger multinational companies or companies that are interested in having access to the BABC OC at a senior level.

To ensure Patron Members continue to gain maximum business value from their membership, a member of the BABC OC Board Executive Committee will meet with the company periodically to review progress and discuss strategies and tactics.

Patron Membership, limited to just 6 companies, also provides you with the full range of high-level networking, promotional and business development opportunities in addition to the regular benefits of the Membership in the British American Business Council.

Assuming Patron Members make the best use of their membership during the year, the value of tangible benefits is $12,200. This does not include the value of any referrals or business generated which is generally hard to trace, as members rarely share when BABC OC introductions have come to some meaningful fruition.
