The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the Rocky Mountain Gas Association (RMGA) are pleased to share that RMGA has become the 22nd Allied Contracting Organization (ACO) to affiliate with ACCA. RMGA promotes the advancement of heating, venting, air conditioning, refrigeration, hearth, and plumbing contractors across Utah and Southwest Wyoming. With this addition, ACCA’s Allied Contracting Organizations now serve 29 states and the District of Columbia.
Allied Contracting Organizations are independent associations that partner with ACCA on the advancement of the HVACR industry’s technical excellence, business success, and legislative and regulatory goals. While ACCA and RMGA memberships remain separate, both organizations will promote the value of investing in a strong representation of the HVACR industry at the local and national levels.
“We are pleased to welcome Rocky Mountain Gas Association as our 22nd ACO,” said Barton James, ACCA president and CEO. “We know contractors’ voices are stronger when ACCA national combines our efforts with state and local organizations. We believe this new relationship will help contractors in Utah and Southwest Wyoming be better represented on all levels.”
"RMGA has long supported contractor training related to ACCA’s quality standards and has been an ally in fighting for building codes that protect consumers and reward contractors for doing the job right,” said Dr. Stephen Pape, board chair of ACCA. “I was thrilled to visit with RMGA leaders and make plans for an even closer relationship going forward.”
This agreement will help both organizations better represent and support contractors in Utah and Southwest Wyoming through a unified voice on legislative and regulatory issues and better cross-promotion and reciprocal discounts on educational programs.
