No matter what success the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) might find, president and CEO Paul Stalknecht isn’t one to let the group rest on its laurels. In fact, he’s on a mission to make sure ACCA is proactive in preparing for the future.
“Let’s face it, the generational and demographic changes in America are impacting our industry,” Stalknecht said. “If we’re going to continue to succeed in the future, we have to move rapidly to identify the needs, not just of contractors in general, but of those businesses specifically owned and managed by Generation X and Generation Y. Our association’s officers have been working all year in a ‘blue-ribbon task force’ to look at the changing nature of association demographics, and how ACCA should adapt its operations. There are a lot of exciting changes ahead.”
