Dear Members,
Happy New Year! I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous 2017! The ASHRAE year flew by! The BOG has 5 more programs scheduled for this year. We look forward to seeing you at all the programs. Please make sure to check the newsletter for an updated schedule.
Make plans to attend the 2017 ASHRAE Winter Meeting in Las Vegas on Jan 28 - Feb 1. This is looking to be the largest AHR Expo outside of Chicago and possibly the largest ASHRAE meeting EVER! The AHR Expo is free to attend with advanced registration, so make sure to register early! For more information, please click here.
Region IX (which the New Mexico Chapter is part of) will be holding a regional dinner during the Winter Conference in Las Vegas. This event is an awesome way to meet with many other ASHRAE members from our region and get to know some of the regional officers. Sunday, January 29, 2015 at 7:30pm, Carmine's Las Vegas, The Forum Shops at Caesars. To RSVP, email Blake at blakeashrae@gmail.com. The cost is $25 for members and is free for students.
And finally, just a reminder about the new program we are introducing. The chapter would like to pay for the cost of future chapter leaders to attend this event. The Spring 2017 YEA Leadership Weekend will be held in Denver, CO from March 3-5, 2017. Registration includes hotel accommodations for Friday and Saturday, meals during the event (dinner on Friday, all meals on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday), and all necessary materials and resources. Airfare and any ground transportation costs are not included. If you (or one of your employees) are interested in attending, please send me interested candidates!
