Our love of Phoenix, Arizona started when we became a member of the American Council for Accredited Certifications (ACAC) Certified Indoor Environment Consultant Board. Our meetings were always in January/February time period which is an absolutely perfect time to visit Phoenix. The weather gave us a break from the winter of the Northeast. It's not too hot during the day and not too cold at night. Meeting members of the ACAC boards was a fantastic networking event! This year the ACAC was planning a meeting of the Boards, however, attendance by ACAC members was not as hoped. But we are still planning on getting together and will attend Adam Andrew's presentation in Session 4 - "Asking the Right Questions: Inbound marketing with professional certification."
