President's Message:
Welcome to another year of ASHRAE here in the Long Island Chapter!
On behalf of the 2023-2024 Board of Governors, I’d like to start by thanking Michael Nigro for an outstanding job leading our chapter. Together, with the continued dedication and efforts of all board members and committee chairs, the Long Island Chapter proved yet once again, to have a very successful year. I’d also like to thank our chapter members. The continued support of our chapter members and industry stakeholders, allows the Long Island Chapter to grow and give continuously give back to the community. We cannot accomplish all of this without you!
We last left in June at our traditional end of the year celebration where a record-breaking amount of funds awarded to our student scholarship winners! Congratulations to the recipients and we wish you the best of luck in your future HVAC careers. Additionally, we held the annual inauguration of chapter officers and board of governor members. I have the upmost confidence in this year’s board of governors, committee chairs and co-chairs. Our chapter not only has a strong presence at the local level but also at the regional and society level as well. Round of applause for bringing our chapter to the next level and supporting other Region 1 chapter’s growth and success outside of our local area!
While the summer always seems to fly by, the board has been working in preparations to continue the
Long Island Chapter’s legacy. The transition meeting was held in early July where budgeting, roles and responsibilities, upcoming programs/YEA events and chapter operations were discussed.
On August 15th – August 17th the board members/committee chairs and some significant others attended the Region 1 Regional Conference hosted by the Northeast Chapter in Albany. The event included technical sessions, business meetings, terrific networking opportunities, training workshops and service award nominations. The Long Island Chapter received awards in multiple categories which is truly a testament to the hard work put in by our BOG throughout the year. I’m proud of the success of the chapter and look forward to another successful year.
As our organization is completely volunteer, I urge all who are interested in becoming involved in our organization to please reach out to myself or any of the board members. There are endless of opportunities network, volunteer and grow as an individual.
Look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!
