As we step into an exciting new chapter for the ACSP celebrating our 20th anniversary, our focus remains resolute: delivering unmatched value to our members, elevating industry standards through accreditation, and fostering a thriving professional community. With this in mind, I am honored to share several key developments that will shape the future of our association and our industry.

One of our most exciting initiatives this year is the rollout of a Member Benefit Program designed to directly impact the bottom line for our valued members. This program will provide exclusive savings opportunities that, in many cases, could cover the cost of annual membership dues. Our goal is simple – to ensure that every ACSP member receives tangible financial value in addition to the professional and educational benefits that come with ACSP membership. More details will be shared soon, and we encourage all members to explore these opportunities and maximize their savings.

Industry excellence begins with education and certification, and we are proud to recognize companies that are investing in their teams through ACSP’s accreditation program. One outstanding example is Inspired Closets Chicago, which recently became the first company to achieve full-team Installer certification, ensuring that every installer on their team is ACSP accredited. This achievement reinforces the company’s dedication to quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.

To celebrate their success, Inspired Closets Chicago has created an inspiring commercial showcasing the impact of ACSP accreditation on their installation team and its business. Scan the QR code to watch the commercial and see firsthand how accreditation is elevating our industry standards.
