Why do some companies have stars or symbols by their names?
Some companies in the Consumer Assistance Directory have a small Mobius strip by their names. This symbol designates them as a member of the Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals (SOCAP) International. SOCAP Intl is a valuable partner of the Handbook and is listed with other sponsors on the Contributors’ Page. Gold stars next to listings in the Consumer Assistance Directory highlight contributors. These organizations helped fund the printing and distribution of the Handbook to ensure that as many consumers as possible have access to this information.
