About NCPA
Our Mission
The mission of the NCPA is to provide the Human Resources professional with quality focused learning, professional contacts, support for workplace challenges, legal updates and resources that will enhance careers, protect organization assets and build outstanding business relationships.
About NCPA
The North County Personnel Association was founded in 1979 by a group of Human Resource professionals. Their goal was to analyze Human Resource systems, to determine their strengths and weaknesses, and based on this, develop a more objective and effective Human Resource program. This group realized the importance of education in keeping abreast of new issues being faced by Human Resource departments. The networking that has resulted from the monthly meetings has proved to be beneficial to businesses, particularly in the North County/San Diego area. NCPA of San Diego is fulfilling the goals established by the original founders and continues to meet our goals of our rapidly growing profession.
NCPA of San Diego, a non-profit organization whose officers serve on a volunteer basis, has over 500 individuals and corporate members serving the North County business community.
