“Contractors have counted on ACCA for the technical training that defines quality work in this industry,” said Martin Hoover, interim president and CEO of ACCA. “Running a business well takes training too, and for too long owners and managers have had to figure it out on their own. These programs bring that same ACCA standard to business ownership and workforce development, built for this industry, by this industry.”

Legacy Builders will move through three segments:

• Redefining the owner’s role from operator to CEO.

• Restructuring the business for scalable growth.

• Building long-term enterprise value ahead of a sale or succession.

The year includes three in-person, three-day leadership workshops, monthly virtual Legacy Labs, owner-to-owner mentorship, and a moderated peer community. Each participant finishes with a defined CEO role, a 90-day leadership transition plan, a prioritized business improvement roadmap, and a personal exit and legacy plan.
