MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - Greg Leisgang is preparing himself for a whirlwind year. Leisgang is the new national chairman of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), a job that involves many visits with contractors, association executives, and others in the HVACR trade.
The road has had a rough start. Leisgang's father, John, founder of his Cincinnati-based company, died three weeks after Leisgang assumed the chairmanship in Austin, Texas, at the 2005 ACCA 37th Annual Conference & Indoor Air Expo. He has left his employees, wife Karen, and sister Julie to run the day-to-day operations of his business - JonLe Heating & Cooling Co. - while he spreads the good word about ACCA as he crisscrosses the United States in the next 12 months.
