I would like to thank all of the Organizations that have sponsored the 2012 CRC & 100th Gala event. Their sponsorship is helping us reach our research promotion goal. There are table tents at every meeting showing the list of current sponsors, keep an eye out!!

Attention Product Show Vendors.... Once again we will have trailer spaces available outside in the parking lot for vendors to showcase larger displays. Please contact Jeff Schultz (Jeffrey_Schultz@aha-engineers.com) for more information.

We are currently at $10,170 in RP donations, thank you to all that have given to date. We still have a ways to go to meet our goal of
$20,280, so if you haven’t made a donation please think of doing so. I will be making more phone calls in the coming months to help
reach our society goal.

Contribution envelopes will be available at every meeting to make it easier for you to help out and you can pay online.

Did you know that 100% of the money donated to Research Promotion actually goes towards Research? In fact our Region receives over $4 toward research projects and grants for every $1 donated to ASHRAE Research Promotion.

ASHRAE has a general fund that pays for the remaining expenses, such as salaries, travel, reimbursements, etc. So when you donate to ASHRAE Research, every dollar actually goes into the funding of research development that gives us the information we use on a daily basis from the ASHRAE Handbooks and various other standards and information material that ASHRAE supplies!

This year our Chapter Goal is $20,280, slightly up from the previous two years. Please help out the Chapter by donating to ASHRAE Research Promotion today, no amount is too small.

Mission: To improve the quality of life and to answer tomorrow's questions through research TODAY.

Over $2 million is raised annually to help fund $16 million in research projects and student grant-in-aides. There are over 80 research project and student grant-in-aides going on.

Research is used to update the Society's standards and guidelines.

Contributions come from more than 6,700 members, non-members, and companies. 100% of all funds raised go directly to research projects that support the HVAC&R industry.

Active research projects are conducted all around the world at various universities and organizations.

ASHRAE is qualified 501(c)3 and all contributions are tax deductable.
