The NKBA Northern California Chapter seeks to amplify the tapestry and richness of the Northern California communities. The chapter aims to build community and strengthen the Kitchen and Bath industry by aligning our core values of equity, inclusion, fairness and integrity to recruitment, engagement, programming and philanthropy.

Our chapter serves members in the greater Bay Area from Santa Rosa to Monterey, and includes San Francisco, the East Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay Areas. We hold bi-monthly chapter meetings, as well as an annual Student Design Symposium, a professional Design Competition, a Design Crawl, and our Annual Gala and Design Awards.
