Dear ASHRAE Members,

As President, I am honored to address you and share my vision for our community’s future. ASHRAE has always been more than just an organization; it is a vibrant, dynamic community of professionals dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Our collective efforts have a profound impact on the built environment and the quality of life for people around the world.

Community engagement is at the heart of ASHRAE’s mission. It is through collaboration, shared knowledge, and mutual support that we achieve our greatest successes. As we move forward, I am committed to fostering an even stronger sense of community within our Chapter.

Together, we can build a stronger, more connected ASHRAE community. I encourage each of you to get involved, share your ideas, and support one another. Our collective efforts will drive innovation, improve our industry, and make a positive impact on the world.

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to ASHRAE. I look forward to working with all of you to build a brighter future.
