Society Presidential Visit Happy Hour


Event Details


We are pleased to present our first in-person event as we welcome Society President Mick Schwedler!

Who are the people that invested in you, encouraged you and helped you grow? Who will you give back to and invest in? “Personal Growth. Global Impact. Feed the Roots.” explores ASHRAE’s expansive root system from the Society’s founding to its extraordinary global growth and impact to the built environment. Three sets of roots were established to help members grow – member-to-member connections, grassroots chapters and regions, and technology. The presentation examines how ASHRAE cultivates these deep, widespread, and strong roots to collectively provide global benefits today as well as for future generations.

Event is 21+ only. The $10 fee includes drinks and heavy apps.
Space is Limited!
