(NCCPC) Northern California Cathodic Protection Committee

As Vice Chairman of SCCPC, I am interested in creating a NCCPC.  The NCCPC will cover Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sacramento, and Sonoma counties.  Due to the ever growing DC mass transit systems operating in Northern California, I see the need for such a committee.

I will be contacting various persons by email about this matter. 

Anyone interested in creating this committee, please contact me by email at SCCPC@Outlook.com

2014 SCCPC Staff

The SCCPC Staff during 2014 are:

Chairman          - James Hare
Vice Chairman - Ronald Hodgman
Secretary          - Tara Heckathorn

James Hare will be leaving Southern California for a new job in Arizona.  Therefore, SCCPC is seeking a new Chairman to finish 2014.  Until the Chairman position is filled, the Vice Chairman will be leader of the committee after April 18th, 2014.

Anyone interested in applying for the Chairman position should contact Ron Hodgman.  SCCPC is a non-profit group with no funding, therefore all committee members are non-paid volunteers. 

SCCPC Information

At the last meeting of the committee, it was recommended that SCCPC (Southern California Cathodic Protection Committee) create a presence on the internet.  This blog is part of that internet presence.  Information on the NACE Los Angeles Section and SCCPC is below.
