July 7, 2020 — Stow, Ohio — ACRT Services, a provider of independent consulting solutions to utilities and associated organizations throughout the U.S., is pleased to announce the promotion of Renee Bissett to director of marketing and communications.

Bissett joined ACRT Services — then ACRT — in 2005 and has led its marketing and communications since. She played a lead role in the 2018 restructuring of the company to ACRT Services.

In 2019, the UAA awarded Bissett with its Education Award for industry professionals that educate and train others. She was the first woman to receive the award and the second from the ACRT Services organization, the first being founder Richard Abbott in 2001.

“Renee has been a significant contributor to our success over the past 15 years,” said John Wasmer, ACRT Services’ executive vice president of revenue. “Her marketing and communications leadership was critical to our growth and in helping to increase participation in our industry.”

Her past experience includes leadership positions with Winner International as well as Carlton Cards. In her new role, Bissett will continue to lead ACRT Services’ marketing and communications while building upon the foundations established over the past 15 years.
