In announcing Connecticut BBB’’s accomplishment, CBBB President Ken Hunter said, “Through our Triennial Evaluation process, the BBB system is making important progress to ensure quality control and a level of service excellence among all bureaus. We are gratified that the BBB of Connecticut has been judged to meet our system’s standards.”
