As the largest organization of HVACR contractors, ACCA takes seriously our mission to represent our members before the manufacturers and corporations whose products and policies impact the contracting industry.

In 2003, ACCA instituted the CO-STARS program (Committee on Special Talks to Advance Relations and Strategies) to bring contractors and senior manufacturer executives to discuss areas of mutual concern, and create specific solutions that can help the entire industry.

CO-STARS meetings are held 1-3 times a year with various manufacturers in both the residential and commercial sector. For more information on ACCA's Industry Relations program, contact Hilary Atkins at hilary.atkins@acca.org.
