Since it's founding in 1991, the Southern California Chapter of PEMA has grown to become the largest and most active environmental trade associations in the Southland.

Within the chapter are two branches, Los Angeles/Orange County (Metro Branch) and San Diego. Each branch meets once a month for lunch within their respective counties. The luncheons feature speakers from key areas of interest to the environmental industry, ranging from regulatory impacts on business to project opportunities with owners such as Lockheed, Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Texaco, and the U.S. Navy.

Sacramento PEMA was founded as a marketing and networking organization in 1995 as an affiliate of the Northern California Chapter of PEMA. For more information on Sacramento PEMA, go to www.sacpema.org.
