President's Corner
Hello and Welcome to a new ASHRAE year. I’d like to start out this President’s Corner with some quick hits:
Thank you’s: Thanks to all of our officers this year who have either taken the next step in Chapter Leadership (Paul Holloway, Zac Cates, and Kyle Waltz), joined Chapter Leadership (Robert Mayfield), or continued their past roles for another year (Dan Lieber, Kyle Longbrake, and Patrick Murdock). The biggest thank you goes to our immediate Past President Wesley Southall for the two years he stayed on as Chapter President after our President-Elect and Vice President moved away unexpectedly.
Congratulations: Congratulations to Society Past President and Roanoke Chapter/Shenandoah Section Member Tom Watson. Tom has been awarded the 2016 F. Paul Anderson Award which recognizes one ASHRAE member each year for notable achievement, outstanding work, or service in any field of Society. Tom has been heavily involved in the technical and standards volunteer committees who write all of the Standards, Guidelines, Handbooks, and publications that ASHRAE produces. His most recent efforts have been to chair SSPC 188, leading the efforts to write ASHRAE’s newly published Standard on managing the Legionellosis risk associated with Building Water Systems.
CRC Update: Wesley Southall, Zac Cates, and myself attended the Johnstown, PA CRC in mid-August. The Chapter maintained our Premier status in the ASHRAE Presidential Award of Excellence (PAOE) program. PAOE is an ASHRAE program which provides a series of activities the chapter can accomplish. These activities are aligned with Society’s ideals for successful chapter operation and the current Society President’s them. The Premier status is conferred upon chapter’s who have been awarded the PAOE every year since 1970 or the chapter’s inception. Roanoke is the only chapter in Region III to have maintained our Premier status.
Call for Volunteers: You may have noticed several chapter Past-Presidents repeating through Chapter Leadership roles the past few years (Dan Lieber – Treasurer, Patrick Murdock – Historian and myself). I’m starting our call for volunteers early and will continue it often. To maintain fresh ideas and minimize burnout, we all need to work to find new volunteers to step up and help continue successful Chapter operations. Outside of the “usual” chapter leadership roles, Roanoke will be hosting the Chapters Regional Conference (CRC) in August 2017 which will require additional volunteers to make sure we put our best foot forward.
Thanks for all of your support and I hope to see many of you out at the meetings this year.
Patrick
