President's Corner

Dear Members and Friends,

Thank you to everyone who attended our monthly meeting in February!  The importance of critical environments can’t be understated.  Our next meeting will be at MadTree on March 11th, from 11:30AM-1:00PM.

Our yearly golf outing has been fully planned and signups for players, teams, and sponsors are now live!  The signups can be found here.

It was great seeing those who attended the Winter Conference in Orlando several weeks ago!  The conference was a great opportunity to meet and learn from some of the brightest minds in ASHRAE.  We’ve included a section in our newsletter with some highlights.

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the promise of warmer days and brighter skies. As we shift into this vibrant season, it's the perfect reminder to take breaks and step outside. Embracing the sunshine can do wonders for both your mental and physical health. Sunlight boosts your mood, supports vitamin D production, and can increase energy levels. Taking regular breaks throughout the day allows your mind to recharge, improving focus and productivity. So, as the days get longer, take a moment to soak in the sun, breathe deeply, and refresh your spirit for the tasks ahead
