FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Lake Coulson, vice president of government relations for the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC), has been named president of the National Alliance for Fair Competition (NAFC).
NAFC is a long-standing coalition of trade associations that has sought regulatory and/or legislative relief on issues involving utilities that wish to compete with the contracting industry. NAFC believes that utilities are free to enter the service industries, but should compete fairly, meaning that they should not be able to share costs or subsidize entrance into new affiliate operations with assets obtained as a government-sanctioned monopoly.
