A LEGACY OF SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION Founded in 1962 in California, the Master Pools Guild (MPG) emerged from a shared vision among a group of builders who sought to collaborate and support one another in an industry still in its formative years. Unlike other groups focused on bulk purchasing and discounts, MPG’s ethos has always centered on member support, continuing education, and elevating industry standards. This commitment to collective growth has been the cornerstone of MPG’s operations, allowing it to flourish as an association that prioritizes the success and well-being of its members. Over the years, MPG has grown into a network of builders who share resources, insights, and best practices, all while maintaining a high standard of excellence. “We work with the Pool and Hot Tub Association (PHTA), and [we] have become an incredible voice for our industry.They have offices in Alexandria, very close to the Capitol, and we support their efforts whenever possible,” says Executive Director Teri Wilshire.
