ARLINGTON, VA — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has announced a new educational program that the association says will help contractors get answers to their questions on a broad range of management topics.

“Make Your Own Seminar!™” is a new series of online question-and-answer sessions featuring experts who will respond to questions submitted by ACCA members. Starting in July, the sessions will be featured at www.acca.org (website). A new topic and expert will be featured each month.

The first expert is Laurie T. Baulig, a partner with the law firm of Scopelitis, Garvin, Light & Hanson and a former head of labor policy for a trade association. Baulig will answer questions related to employment law, including such topics as hiring and firing, compensation and overtime, compliance with federal law and regulations.

Other topics in the Q&A series will include: sales and marketing; contract law and liability; taxes; IAQ; insurance; employee training; financial management; fleet management; and workplace safety.

Questions for the first session on employment law can be submitted online and must be received by June 14.
