Mission
The Association shall advance the interests of the coatings industry and serve as its chief advocate and spokesperson before the government and public; domestically and globally. See Schedule O for continuation
Program accomplishments
- Government Affairs and Advocacy: ACA's Paint Councils are a network of grassroots organizations representing the association in its efforts to promote the interests of the coatings industry at the state level. ACA's Paint Councils provide a forum for companies doing business in those states to interact with each other and with their elected officials. Administration and coordination of the Paint Council Network is overseen by the association's government affairs committee. Experience, to date, has shown that an organized, informed membership can make a significant difference in the outcome of public policy debates concerning coatings industry issues. Paint Council membership and participation is available to ACA corporate members only, since it is membership dues that support the work of the Paint Councils. Actions taken by each Paint Council are determined by its membership at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year. Each Paint Council has professional staff for lobbying and association management.
- Events and Communications: ACA events focus on the latest technological innovations in the coatings field and allied industries. They offer detailed analysis on specific areas of coatings technology and are geared to a global audience. ACA also offers a variety of publications that highlight and address the issues in the coatings industry.
- Government, Health, Safety and Environmental Affairs: ACA's accomplishments include the following: provided technical assistance to federal and state agencies on air quality requirements for coatings and coatings facilities as well as guidance to the industry to facilitate compliance; worked with US EPA on several TSCA rulemakings to ensure more reasonable chemicals management requirements; defeated legislation in New York and Maryland that would have banned the use of certain chemicals in architectural paint; eliminated language targeting paint and coatings in microplastics legislation in California; assisted in the development of the program plan expanding paint categories to certain household hazardous waste paint products in Vermont and California; awarded numerous safety awards to member facilities meeting the OSHA safety standards; provided assistance to several state and federal agencies on rulemakings impacting manufacture, labeling, transport and distribution of coatings products.
