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.
Dear Members,
On behalf of the entire Board, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our annual BBQ and product show. It was truly a fantastic event, and we are delighted with the great turnout.
Your participation and enthusiasm helped make this gathering a resounding success, and we are grateful for the continued support and sense of community that our members bring to every event.
I am also thrilled to share some exciting news with you. We are proud to announce our new partnership with the California Rural Water Association (CRWA) for backflow certification!
This collaboration is a significant step forward for our organization, as it means we will now be represented statewide, allowing us to reach and serve more communities throughout California.
CRWA's reputation and influence in the water industry are well established, and this partnership will undoubtedly enhance our ability to make a positive impact across the state.
Additionally, I am excited to announce that, as of October 1st, 2024, our organization will officially be ANSI (American National Standards Institute) certified.
This certification is a major milestone for us, as it demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency in all our products and services.
The ANSI certification will not only elevate our credibility within the industry but also strengthen our ability to deliver exceptional solutions to our clients and communities.
Once again, thank you for being a valued part of our community. We look forward to continuing this journey together, now with the added strength and recognition that come with our CRWA partnership and ANSI certification.
Sincerely,
Irwin "Ole" Olson
President of the Board
