Since co-founding Meyer Sound in 1979 with her husband John Meyer, Helen Meyer has empowered individuals and enriched the local community in the areas of job creation, education, and the arts. Meyer Sound employs over 300 people worldwide, including some 200 manufacturing positions at its Berkeley headquarters.
"Helen Meyer is one of the Bay Area business community's most successful and admired leaders," says Marcy Wong, Berkeley-based architect who nominated Meyer. "Her sterling business leadership, partnered with selfless service and contributions, makes her a significant member in the community. She without question deserves public recognition for her contributions."
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Helen Meyer serves as board member of the Berkeley Repertory Theatre and the Mark Morris Dance Group. She is also on the advisory council for the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, and is a long-time contributor to local organizations including the Berkeley Public Education Foundation, Berkeley Public Library, Crowden School, and Berkeley Community Fund, among others.
