About us
The NJ State League of Master Plumbers Inc. was founded in 1930
by a small group of plumbers, William J. Wilson, August C. Kriger, William F. Borg, Alfred Hoffman, August P. Walters, who thought the industry, their profession, and their customers should be protected. In 1931 they incorporated and formed the New Jersey State League of Master Plumbers, Inc.
The initial objectives of our Organization are (1) To assist in Legislation for the protection and safeguard of health laws, rules and regulations pertaining to Plumbing, Drainage and Sanitation; (2) To promote and establish an apprenticeship program and encourage the master plumber to continue his/her education in the plumbing profession, and (3) To promote co-operative relations among master plumbers, journeymen plumbers, manufacturers, wholesalers and the public. These objectives set forth in 1931 remain our core objectives today.
Unlike other plumbing trade organizations, the New Jersey State League of Master Plumbers is an exclusive Association, wherein only New Jersey State Licensed Master Plumbers can apply for membership.
Having over 30 Local Associations with over 1,100 members statewide, we serve virtually every area of our State by protecting the plumber, apprentice and consumer alike.
When you become a member of the State League, you will join a Local Association of your choice. Our Local Associations hold local monthly meetings and all Local Associations have equal voting powers within the State League. The Local Association President, Secretary and State League Representative maintain the voting rights for State level monthy executive meetings. At our yearly Convention, an additional 5 delegates are added for each Local Association.
All offices held in the State League are voluntary positions.
As a member of the State League, you have the right to voice your opinion and have your views heard on a variety of issues, which may effect you and your business. A portion of your dues is used to pay the expenses of the League. Most of the expenses support the Committees working for you.
Our more popular Committees provide members with the following services:
The "PipeLine" - (Our official news letter)
Plumbing License Enforcement (PLEC) protecting the integrity of our license
Continuing Education - Free to our members (State League Board Certified Instructors)
