ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is launching a new program to help improve communication and problem solving between contractors and manufacturers.
The first CO-STARS (Committee On Special Talks to Advance Relations and Strategies) forum will be held Oct. 3, 2003 in Alexandria, Va. The forum is designed to provide a neutral ground for contractors and manufacturers to address areas of mutual interest and concern and reach agreement to advance both parties' interests. The inaugural forum will feature two separate simultaneous meetings, one for residential operations and the other for commercial. Halsey Cook, president of North American residential, Carrier Corporation, and John Conover, vice president of sales Americas, Trane Commercial Systems, will meet with the contractors at the forum.
