Are you interested looking for a way to market your company in the industry and business community? Check out the ABC Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) program. This is an accreditation program which is publicly recognized and honors those construction firms which have documented their commitment in four key areas of corporate responsibility: safety, employee benefits, training and community relations. Besides recognition, some of the other benefits include national and local recognition in publications, authorization to use AQC language in bid documents, discounts on other business development opportunities offered by ABC National and permission to use the AQC logo on letterhead, business cards and jobsite signs.
If you have received a Platinum or Gold STEP award in the last two years you have fulfilled half of the safety requirements. Now is the time to be thinking about getting into this program. This is an annual program that is renewable each year. Applications are reviewed in December, March, June and October. The application takes about four hours to complete. If you start now for 2010 you will have all year to utilize this valuable marketing tool for your company.
