The spring season brings about many changes as we transition from the long winter to the upcoming summer months. Beginning July 1st of this year, our chapter will be involved in a change to the membership structure between national and the local chapters of ACCA. Some of the immediate changes to take place as a result of this modification will be a new name for the chapter, a new logo, and the adjustment to how our membership dues are billed. Members will also have the opportunity to join the local and national organization independently.

Many of us see this as a great opportunity for a new beginning for the HVAC professionals in our area. This new independence, will give our organization the opportunity to focus more on our local community of professionals and continue to work toward making this organization more beneficial for members. We will continue to further develop our business and technical training courses, offer interesting dinner and networking events, and promote our organization to represent HVAC professionals as leaders in our industry.

At our last monthly meeting in April, we conducted a “round table meeting” in which we discussed various topics concerning the direction of our organization. Countless great ideas emerged from this event and the board of directors have been actively exploring many of those suggestions.  

There is no better time to become more involved in the association and assist in the formation of our new organization. I welcome your comments and look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting at Vivaldi Ristorante on May 15th.
