Is it May 9th yet?! ⛳️🏌️‍♂️

Our 79th Annual Chet Raypholtz Memorial Golf Tournament is almost here and we can’t decide what we’re looking forward to the most – the competition, food, or awesome raffle prizes.
Huge thank you to our sponsors for making this event possible another year! We'll see you soon 😊

The 2nd Annual Design Build Competition is officially one for the books!

To the students who showed up and gave it their all—thank you. We know it wasn’t easy racing against the clock to complete your 8’x12’ structures, but you did it. Part of our vision was that you’d leave with new skills, hands-on experience, and lessons that last a lifetime.

A huge thank you to every sponsor, teacher, mentor, and staff member who poured their time and effort into making this event happen. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Until next time, we'll see you in 2026!

We’re delighted to welcome back Steve Little, our current 1st Vice President. Since 1969, his company has been a pillar in the Central Valley, specializing in engineering, sewer, water, irrigation and infrastructure projects across California.

Steve has been with CCBE for over 16+ years and has seen firsthand the value of the Exchange, not just in business, but in the ability to give back, lead and support the industry.

We are grateful for his leadership and commitment to the CCBE community!
