ASHRAE Journal - October 2023 - HR2

Dear ASHRAE Members and Friends,
2022-23
DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE
Congratulations to every ASHRAE Member for a fantastic year of contributions to the Annual
Research Promotion (RP) campaign!
Under the inspiring theme of " Securing a Future, " ASHRAE President Farooq Mehboob's
vision resonated throughout our community, spurring a collective spirit of generosity and
dedication. ASHRAE members left an indelible mark on Society through their tireless
volunteer efforts, the submission and development of pioneering industry ideas, and their
invaluable personal and corporate fi nancial contributions. It is through this shared commitment
to giving that ASHRAE continues to stand as a global leader in HVAC&R research.
The cornerstone of our philanthropic efforts, the Annual RP Campaign, has demonstrated
its strength once again by raising an impressive $2.7 million during the 2022-23 Society
year. These funds will be directed towards vital research initiatives, designated education
scholarships, and Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA) programs, reinforcing our commitment
to fostering excellence in our fi eld. I extend my deepest gratitude to every ASHRAE member
and corporation who played a role in this remarkable achievement. I would also like to
offer a special note of appreciation to the RP Committee for their unwavering dedication
in orchestrating a highly successful campaign.
It is crucial to emphasize that it is only through the unwavering support and contributions
of each ASHRAE Chapter that we can fund the critical work carried out by our members.
We owe our success to the unity and shared vision that binds our community together.
With the momentum gained in the past year, we look forward with optimism to the challenges
and opportunities that Society Year 2023-24 will bring. Let us continue to build upon the
legacy of giving established in 2022-23, striving for even greater achievements and impacts
in our industry.
Once again, I express my sincerest thanks for your enduring support of ASHRAE.
Your commitment and dedication are the driving forces behind our accomplishments.
Warmest regards,
