LORI C. KAMMERER is nationally recognized as a leading authority on policy issues affecting California businesses of all sizes, including start-up, micro and small businesses, and corporations that have a significant presence in our state.

She was one of the first women accepted for membership in the Sutter Club in 2000 which at the time, was an all-male Club.
