Purchasing a building was always a consideration; USTA NorCal Board President, Margie Peterman directed numerous studies to determine the most suitable location, polled employees and considered partnerships with tennis clubs. The result was the purchase of the new building that has 8100 square feet in the Harbor Bay Business Park of Alameda. The increased space provides enough room to hold full board meetings and other large training meetings and events.
