Dear Friends of CALBO,
We can’t wait to see you in Indian Wells! It’s hard to beat the natural beauty of the Coachella Valley and its surrounding topography in April and we look forward to you joining us there for CALBO’s 62nd Annual Business Meeting.
In the articles that follow, you’ll discover CALBO’s yearlong dedication to our profession in putting this program together. Many individuals have been hard at work and we invite you to be a part of this immersive experience, joining your colleagues as we come together to learn, share, and celebrate our collective experiences over the preceding year.
Our commitment to providing diverse programming options is evident in the thoughtfully crafted agenda. From general sessions designed for all building department professionals to interactive workshops, we take pride in showcasing a variety of topics tailored to meet the needs of our community while connecting with your peers in building safety.
There’s always time to network, and this year’s ABM will include plenty of opportunities for social engagement. We’re very excited to showcase our home at the exceptional Indian Wells golf resort, including the famed the Celebrity Course that will host our annual golf tournament on Sunday afternoon. Don’t miss the chance to explore CALBO’s Partner Hospitality Row on Tuesday, where various partners have curated unique spaces for your enjoyment. And on Wednesday, join us for a fun-filled Fellowship Dinner on the Greens – a light-hearted evening under the picturesque evening desert sky.
Besides the Annual Business Meeting there are other important events that you should definitely not miss. First, of course is the upcoming Building Safety Month in May. As part of furthering our profession and that of Building Safety Professional, CALBO will host a week of opportunities including leadership training and professional development in Sacramento. Please check the CALBO website for more details including a new event, Building Leaders in Our Profession on May 16, 2024. If you are looking to earn CEUs, elevate your leadership abilities, and connect with fellow building safety professionals, do not miss this event that is sure to sell out. We will also be hosting our annual Leadership and Advocacy Day at the capitol on May 15th where you will have the opportunity to assist our members in impacting legislation that will impact how you do your jobs. Lastly, in Sacramento that week, Building Officials Leadership Academy (BOLA) will commence from May 13-17, 2024, welcoming twenty new students. We applaud this group of future building safety leaders embarking on this pivotal journey of personal and professional growth.
Whether you’re planning to join us next month in Indian Wells, or joining us in Sacramento in May, I hope you are looking forward in the many professional development opportunities ahead. We will see you on the road soon!
Best regards,
Brad Wungluck, CBO
CALBO President

Greetings CALBO Members,
Please allow me to introduce myself as the new Public Affairs Director, a resource to you all for public policy and CALBO’s governmental affairs. This opportunity affords me the ability to continue working on the issues of importance to the CALBO community.
I was most recently a Legislative Director in the California State Assembly, where I worked on a variety of state and regional policy issues, while serving as the primary aide advising the Assembly Member on policy positions. This experience will provide the ability to articulate the technical and crucial nature of your work to decisionmakers so that they understand our barriers to implementation for proposed legislation.
The CALBO Legislative Committee has come together and commenced our work for the year. We have looked at more than 2,000 measures that have been introduced this year and will be acted upon in the weeks ahead. As CALBO takes official positions on these items, you will be able to view them in real time here. I encourage you all to take advantage of the information that is available on our website.
The bills the Legislative Committee will be reviewing with high priority include:
CALBO’s Legislative Updates page is a useful source for our membership to stay up to date on our organization’s ongoing advocacy efforts. From the Capitol Corner Update, Legislative Bills Reports, as well as a breakdown on how the California Legislative process works, this page has everything you need to know about our advocacy efforts. As you start to navigate through the different sections of this webpage, use the helpful guide below to assist with finding valuable information.
CALBO Training Institute is honored to celebrate the achievements of the twenty-three students of the Permit Technician Career Advancement Academy.
As the newest CALBO Training Institute Leadership Academy, counter staff are trained on both soft and hard skills as current and future leaders in the California Building Safety industry focusing on growing as a team leader, improving the coordination in the permit process, strengthening customer service skills, and learning best operations from a supervisor’s perspective.
These counter leaders were honored at the Annual Business Meeting in Indian Wells for their participation and taking the next step in advancing their careers. Please join us in honoring these students of the newest CALBO Academy and their achievements as the Class of 2023-2024.
Need a full-day of CEU-approved training before Education Weeks? CALBO is heading to Indian Wells and hosting one full-day of training in conjunction with CALBO’s 62nd Annual Business Meeting.
