ICTPA was founded on January 10, 1987 in the United States as a nonprofit professional organization. The purpose of ICTPA is to promote the professional development of its members by fostering fellowship and cooperation among its members and by maintaining a central point of reference and deliberation. In an effort to promote local activities, there are Southern California Chapter (SCC), Northern California Chapter (NCC), Washington, DC Chapter, Northeastern United States Chapters and Texas Chapter. Each chapter has its own president and board of directors, regular meetings and activities. The Southern California Chapter focuses on technical activities and business networking among our members and friends from government agencies, design firms and construction companies in the greater Los Angeles area, Santa Barbara and San Diego Counties.
