The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has announced the installation of the 2020-2021 Board of Directors and Officers.
Eric Knaak of Isaac Heating & Air Conditioning in Rochester, NY, passed the leadership of the ACCA Board of Directors to Lanny Huffman of Hickory Sheer Metal Co., in Hickory, NC. “Due to the devastating impact of the coronavirus, Lanny has unceremoniously taken over as Chairmanship of ACCA and will be our leader going into 2021, and we couldn’t be in better hands,” says Knaak. “Following tradition, we would have presented Lanny at the ACCA 2020 conference, but because of these unfortunate circumstances, we have been forced to welcome Lanny through e-mail, social media, and every other form of communication.”
Reflecting on his tenure as the 2019-2020 Chairman, Knaak highlighted numerous workforce-related initiatives under his leadership, including ACCA’s Pledge to America’s Workers campaign. “Having and obtaining the best talent is a must, and to do that, providing workforce development opportunities is a necessity in today’s changing climate. The Pledge to America’s Workers campaign reminds and inspires contractors to take the extra steps needed to maintain excellence.”
Huffman stated that in his new role, he is looking forward to growing ACCA’s membership. “With ACCA’s strategic plan in place, we have an opportunity to be more proactive and provide even more opportunities to support and best serve our members.” Huffman also shares, “building our bridge with allied contracting organizations as well as state and local contracting organizations is also a priority. A big focus of this renewed partnership will be on advocacy tools, online training, and content that can be shared nationwide.”
