Since its opening in April of 1960, the World Trade Club of San Francisco has well served its declared purpose and has become known throughout the world as one of the most prestigious organizations of its kind, dedicated to serving the welfare and best interests of the international business community.
The Club’s headquarters are located in the heart of San Francisco, behind the historic Ferry Building, with panoramic views of the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Coit Tower, and the city skyline. The Club has been the setting for receptions of royalty and heads of state, foreign trade missions, and leaders in business and industry from the four corners of the world.
More than 1,000 men and women business leaders in the Bay Area and Northern California comprise the basic membership of the Club. Additionally, there are many nonresident members throughout the United States and overseas. Members of the Consular Corps in the Bay Area hold honorary memberships, and the international flavor is maintained by the Club’s membership administration policy which gives preference to applicants whose business relates to foreign trade and travel.
