THE GUIDE POST

September 2017

IN THIS ISSUE

Dear San Jose ASHRAE Members and Friends,

Welcome to the 2017-2018 year, I'm very excited and honored to be your president for this year! I'd first like

to thank all of our officers who served in the 2016-2017 term. We had an amazing year filled with fun social

events and informative technical meetings. None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for our team. I'd

also like to thank all of the speakers below for taking time out of their hectic lives to speak to our ASHRAE

members:

o Jason Strauss with Neptronic

o Devin Abellon with Uponor

o Tim Wentz our 2016-17 society President

o Sargon Ishaya with Pragmatic Professional Engineers and our Student Activities chair

o Verle Williams with Utility Services Unlimited

o Tim Chadwick with Alfa Tech

o Chris Bryan with Mitsubishi Electric

o Sherwin Khayatian with Norman S. Wright

o Nicole Sedierman with Norman S. Wright

A few of our officers and committee chairs went to the Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) in Sacramento,

CA in August where they hold an awards night, committee trainings and business sessions. Our chapter was

awarded with the RP full circle (each officer donating $100 to RP), best YEA chair, best website and best

historical poster at CRC. Congratulations to Elise Kiland for her hard work on earning the best YEA chair,

best website and the best historical poster!

Our CTTC team is hard at work creating our programming for the year. Please check our website regularly

for our upcoming events at https://sanjoseashrae.wildapricot.org/. If you have any suggestions for

programming or are willing to be a speaker please contact our CTTC chairs, David, John, or Bill.

The first event of the 2017-18 term is the September Social at the Mountain Winery on Wednesday,

September 27th. I promise that it won't be as cold as last year! We are having the event inside in the grand

hall. We have many sponsorship options available and would appreciate your company donating for this

event. We will be recognizing all of the resource promotion donators from 2016-17. Please check our website

to register and for more information.

See you later this month!
