Welcome message from Chapter President...

​

Greetings Sacramento Valley ASHRAE Members,

 

I hope all has been well with you as we continue to live and work through these unusual circumstances that have no doubt had a wide range of effects on us all. Thank you to all who participated in the survey last month regarding your current comfort level with attending in person events. As is similar to the general population, there is a wide range of opinions and the board is working hard to accommodate as best as possible in a safe and acceptable manner.

 

First up for this year is our first chapter meeting which will take place virtually next Wednesday, November 4th, at 12 PM. We have the distinct pleasure of having Karine LeBlanc (an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer) present “Everyone Communicates, Few Connect”, which is a topic that has been well received in many other ASHRAE chapters and will cover skills and principles that can be applied both in your professional and your personal life. Please see the link in the newsletter / email to register, and note that the nominal fee for this meeting will help support ASHRAE research and student activities.

 

Next up will be the first YEA event of the year on November 12th at 6 PM, which will be a COVID -compliant brewery tour at Device Brewing Company in Sacramento. There will be both a (limited) in-person option and a virtual option to help address any concerns. Please see the YEA section of this newsletter for additional information!

 

Thanks and hope to see you all at the first meeting (virtually)!

 

Ryan Porter

Sacramento Valley ASHRAE Chapter President
