JATC RECEIVES HIGH HONORS FROM INTERNATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE
In March 2003, the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) has been honored with gold status accreditation by the International Training Institute (ITI). More than 100 criteria had to be met and demonstrated with proof to satisfy the ITI standard, including a library of reference material and a registered apprenticeship program. Proof of compliance with various federal and state agencies was also necessary to establish the high standard achieved by the JATC.

LOCAL SHEET METAL CONTRACTORS
DONATE MUCH-NEEDED REPAIR SERVICES TO CITY OF PHOENIX
SMACNA Cares, the month-long community outreach project spearheaded by Valley sheet metal contractors has led to new HVAC repair and equipment for ten local families. In June 2003, thanks to the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors of America (SMACNA) Arizona Chapter, ten homes will be much cooler and more comfortable this summer. SMACNA contractors and employees donated time and materials to install new air conditioning and evaporative cooler units to needy families.
The homes were chosen with the help of the Emergency Home Repair Program administered by the city of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department. Recipients were selected from a group of low-income homeowners applying to the city of Phoenix for loans to maintain or repair their homes.

In March 2003, in support of American troops overseas, the Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) of Arizona compiled care packages to send to soldiers in Iraq and Kuwait.
SMACNA-Arizona was able to get a jumpstart on showing their support thanks to websites such as www.operationmilitarypride.org. Care packages included necessities such as travel-size bottles of mouthwash, toothpaste, tissues and hand sanitizer, as well as more hard-to-find "state-side" items, such as magazines, candy, beef jerky, nuts and powder Gatorade.
