April 26, 2005: ACCA's 'Heat The Country' Program Wins Award
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America's (ACCA's) "Heat the Country" program has won the Associations Advance America Award of Excellence from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).
Heat the Country sprang from a community service project, Heat the Town, initiated by ACCA's North Texas chapter in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Last fall, ACCA members in some 14 chapters around the country volunteered their time and services to repair or replace heating systems for low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners in their local communities. The chapters worked with public and private social service organizations to identify families who need help.
