TTHEHE PPRESIDENTRESIDENT’’SS MMESSAGEESSAGE

By Mark Mizell

Happy new year -- a

time of reflection

and resolutions.

We may set out to

make changes to

improve on our

weaknesses or seek

out challenges for

personal and professional achieve-

ments.

To get such fulfillment takes work.

And to get new results takes trying

something new -- making a change.

Changes are inevitable. Why not be

proactive instead of reactive? The

end goal and direction means some-

thing different to each of us.

If you're familiar with "Who Moved

My Cheese?, " you know change can

be difficult for most of us. I hope we

won't hold back like Hem until op-

portunities have passed us by. But

learn from Haw to anticipate, adapt

and enjoy change.

January also reminds me that we just

have a few more months to accom-

plish what our ASHRAE leadership

team planned to do this year to in-

clude providing stellar professional

development and service opportuni-

ties for our membership, enhancing

research exploration and pulling off

a great CRC.

Let's make the best of this fresh

start.

Ron McCarty—MP Chair

The year is still progressing well, but

still need to push for additional

membership growth. This year we

had added 13 new members to our

Chapter. For the next meeting the

Membership Committee will be

sponsoring a Membership Promotion

event. Each Chapter Member that

brings a non-member to the meeting

will have their lunches paid for. In

addition, their name will go into a

hat for a chance to win a $30 gift

card. A sign-up sheet for the draw-

ings will be posted at the Sign-in

desk.

Another area of activity for the

committee is the reduction of ac-

count delinquencies. The committee

will continue make contact with

members to reduce the overall num-

ber of delinquent accounts.

As mentioned in previous newsletter

articles the Membership promotion

committee will be increasing our

efforts to communication to those

members that are eligible to upgrade

their membership. There is no addi-

tional cost for the upgrade to

“Member” membership grade. The

Member grade provides the member

the qualification for Fellow grade. In

addition, "Member" are considered

seasoned industry professionals and

are often seen as experts. The

process for upgrading is an easy

process that can be done online by

updating your Member Bio or by

email [email protected]

indicating an interest in advance-

ment.
