Product & Professional Certifications
The building and construction industry looks to trade associations’ product and professional certification programs as quality marks to ensure their projects are completed by the most qualified experts and built with the highest quality and safety standards. Kellen’s technical experts and communications professionals are skilled in developing certification programs for both products and specialized professionals, and provide the platform to educate markets about your quality standards. Our longtime relationships with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) enable us to quickly and effectively build, position and drive adoption of your certification programs to your most important stakeholders.
Legislative & Regulatory Affairs
A new piece of legislation or regulatory guidance – even before it’s put to a vote or through committee review – can bring new projects and initiatives to a halt, costing construction companies, manufacturers and clients invaluable time and money. Kellen’s comprehensive government and public affairs capabilities enable your organization to relax knowing your industry and profession is represented on Capitol Hill and among global regulating bodies, and that changes to regulations or guidance will be clearly and efficiently delivered to your membership to ensure compliance.
