President's Message:

Greetings Nebraska ASHRAE,

Welcome to 2021! I hope everyone had a great Holiday season and you were able to spend some time with friends and family. I can’t recall a New Year in my lifetime that has been anticipated as much as this one. As a Chapter, we’ll be kicking this year off on a high note. You’ve likely heard us mention it already, but I’m looking forward to hosting the ASHRAE Society President, President-Elect, and Treasurer in our very first meeting. We have invited our friends from the South Dakota and Wichita Chapters as well to join us in this very exciting event.

I also want to remind everyone that our ASHRAE Research Promotion  (RP) campaign is in full swing. If you or your company would be willing and able to make an early contribution, it would go a long way to helping our Chapter reach its goal and save on the effort that typically occurs at the end of the year to push to get donations in. If you’ve ever questioned the impact your donation makes, last year more than $365,000 in ASHRAE funding went to research projects at the University of Nebraska. Our Chapter goal is only a fraction of that amount, so you can feel confident that our local community has been greatly impacted through the generosity of ASHRAE donors. For additional information on making a contribution, please reach out to Garrett Johnson at garrett.johnson@hdrinc.com.

On to 2021!
