"You have NO IDEA what a great experience I've had with AABC. What a major difference it is to call your certification main office and get happy, helpful people who obviously have servant hearts. This staff (and volunteer base) has made my career fun again, and I have learned so much. Please don’t change, and stay focused on people like you are now. It shows, it’s appreciated, and so many people talk about how awesome the people at AABC and ACG are. Well done, team!"

"Judy and I thoroughly enjoyed the 2-25 AABC Annual Meeting. It was one of the best we have attended in a long time. From the opening reception to the final banquet, we felt the event was well planned and organized. It takes a team to make things happen. That is why people like Sim, Ray and the others are essential to making this organization strong and helpful to all members."

Rick Cox
AABC Past President
"I wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for everything you did to make the conference such a success. It was a pleasure speaking with all of you, as well as meeting so many new people. The speakers were both informative and engaging — I learned a great deal. This was my first conference, and I’ll admit I had some reservations about attending as a technician rather than a TBE. However, I met several people who really helped build my confidence in pursuing that next step, including Valerie."

Farnsworth Group, Inc.
"It's good to see your company growing, but the fact that you're covering now different aspects, we didn't have this before. We would never have done an interview like this before. That's something new that CAM has brought to the table. The team that you've built is great. My belief is you nearly enjoy it as much as we do because the core values that we have as members of the Associated Air Balance Council, you too bring. It's a perfect handshake. I hope we make your job easier, but you certainly do make our job easier. Thank you so much for that."

"James Magee, MACx Consulting and Alex Kozinets, Facility Grid presented an EMA webinar on March 4, 2025 on data center commissioning and operational readiness facilitated by William Thomas, CAM.

“Having been actively engaged with both ACG and EMA for many years, including serving as president of the EMA Board, I have worked closely with the staff of Capital Association Management (CAM). The entire staff is extremely professional and has been instrumental in maintaining the accreditation of our respective professional certifications (Commissioning Authority, CxA, and Energy Management Professional, EMP). Their efforts in overseeing our organizations’ activities, managing our annual conference and expo (CxEnergy), and developing relationships with public agencies and private companies sharing our interest has directly led to the growth and success of both associations.”

"ONICON and Air Monitor have sponsored and exhibited at the CxEnergy show for over the last 6 years, and every year it just gets better and better! The coordination/planning team does an amazing job of getting interesting speakers to present informative and relevant sessions, all while ensuring that the exhibit hall stays busy during the allotted exhibit times. We had great networking and learning opportunities this year, and time for a little fun on the golf course! CxEnergy is one of the best shows that we participate in annually and I look forward to ONICON and Air Monitor being a part of it next year in Charlotte."
