2023 WACA Summer Family Meeting
2023 Summer Meeting - Many thanks to our Board, Executive Director, Members, and of course, our Sponsors for making this year a great success!
WACA 2022 Member Community Contribution
At the Summer Meeting this year, our members pledged a combined 25K to the community contribution recipient, Habitat for Humanity. A portion contributed to the September ICF Build in Spokane, joining the efforts of NRMCA, SuperForm, ICFMA, Lafarge, Ash Grove, Interstate Concrete & Asphalt, Central Pre-Mix, CRH, and others. The use of non-combustible concrete forms for this build was especially poignant as the prior homeowner lost his life in a house fire resulting in the city notifying Habitat for Humanity of the property’s availability.
The Spokane Build was the first of many opportunities to partner with Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity Washington State has agreed to work with us by earmarking the member’s contributions for upcoming concrete-constructed homes. We look forward to future builds that will impact families in a powerful sustaining manner.
As a contributor, you will soon receive a receipt in the mail for your contribution from either Habitat for Humanity Spokane Chapter or Habitat for Humanity Washington State. I've attached Habitat for Humanity Washington State documents for informational purposes only.

ACI Certification Process Changes.
Written testing
- Online Virtual Review session. We are working to complete recorded on-demand review videos.
- Testing time selection may be required during registration for written exams.
- ACI has online modules we may consider for Field, AA and Strength
- Written exams will be offered separately from review, as necessary.
- Written exam sessions maybe in small groups over multiple sessions.
Performance testing
- Testing time selection may be required during registration for performance exams
- Examinee does all testing at a single station with a single Examiner
- One Examiner per station
- Lab for their Examinee(s) brings own equipment including scales. Will have some community equipment available.
- Goal / need is to reduce interactions & improve to a more consistent process with examinees responsible for their equipment.
- No gathering in testing area or waiting area. Will schedule small groups in shifts.
We will do our best to accommodate the needs but please recognize certification on demand is not something we can do. Sincere appreciation for your continued understanding, cooperation, and patience. Please continue to monitor for updates.
