A WORD FROM
OUR PRESIDENT
IRWIN "OLE" OLSON JR.
Greetings, and welcome to our new website! I wanted to take a moment to share some of the latest developments within our organization and recent NCBPA events.
Year-End Reflections and New Year Wishes from NCBPA
Dear Members,
As we bid farewell to another incredible year, the Northern California Backflow Prevention Association (NCBPA) would like to take a moment to celebrate our accomplishments, acknowledge our partners, and express gratitude to our members.
This year has been particularly significant, as we proudly partnered with the California Rural Water Association (CRWA) to achieve two critical milestones: ANSI and IACET accreditation. These certifications highlight our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in education and training for backflow prevention professionals. These achievements would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team, our partners, and, most importantly, you—our valued members.
We hope everyone enjoyed a fun and safe Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season surrounded by family and friends. As we turn the page to a new year, we wish all of you a prosperous and exciting 2024.
Thank you for your continued support, participation, and engagement. You are the foundation of our association's success, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead to connect, learn, and grow together.
Here’s to making 2024 another milestone year for NCBPA. We look forward to spending more time with you, sharing knowledge, and advancing our shared mission.
Cheers to a bright future!
Warm regards,
Irwin "Ole" Olson
President of the Board
& The NCBPA Team
