TACCA Update Nov 4

TACCA Benefits Survey

Would you spare just five minutes to help us improve? As we look toward the future of HVAC/R and our association, the leadership of TACCA wants to learn how we can better help contractors and industry vendors/suppliers. We are looking to you to help provide feedback - the good, the bad, and the ugly - we can use to guide the direction for growth and change. Please help us by participating in this short, five-minute survey. Your input is welcome and appreciated! You can access the survey here or by clicking on the QR code below through the end of November.

Government Affairs and TACCAPAC

TACCA is closely monitoring the Sunset process for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and the future of the regulation of plumbing, as well as working to eliminate costly municipal registration fees. TACCA members were mailed information about TACCAPAC (Political Action Committee) and the importance of supporting the PAC and legislative efforts to protect the HVAC/R industry from encroachment by unlicensed workers and to advocate for the industry and small business. TACCAPAC is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from members and all contributions are used to support industry-friendly legislators, regardless of party affiliation. Find more information about legislative efforts and how to support TACCAPAC here.

Redesigned Website

With a goal to make it easier to locate the information you are looking for, the TACCA website underwent a redesign this year. It’s clean and full of new content to help share information about TACCA’s history and current activities and benefits offerings.

October Board Meeting

The TACCA Board met in October to review and discuss business such as chapter and committee activities, financial outlook, and several new and exciting programs, including an affordable healthcare offering for TACCA members. More information to come about these exciting new benefits.

Federated Insurance

TACCA has a great relationship with Federated Insurance and we encourage all contractors to give them an opportunity to quote your business insurance needs – commercial property, general liability, workers compensation, commercial auto and life/disability. Call 800-533-0472 or contact us for a local representative.
