NCC’s Board of Governors and officers recently attended the annual Region III Conference (CRC) in Lehigh Valley, PA. CRC is a two-day training held by Regional and Society level officers to give chapters the information and experience necessary to better serve our chapter during the upcoming year. Many of our committee leaders received awards and recognition for their exceptional performance last year.

From a Society level, M. Dennis Knight, P.E., BEMP, Fellow Life Member ASHRAE, will serve as the 2024-25 Society president. During his inaugural presidential address, Knight introduced the theme for the Society Year, “Empowering Our Workforce: Building a Sustainable Future.” The theme highlights the impact that our industry is making to address climate change, the emergence of new technologies in Building Sciences and how ASHRAE will be instrumental in attracting and developing the next generation of diverse professionals. This presidential theme will be reflected in our chapter’s many events planned for this season.

The NCC Board of Governors has diligently utilized the summer months to strategize and curate an upcoming season that promises to be both enlightening and inspiring. We eagerly anticipate the diverse array of topics and distinguished speakers that await us. The first chapter meeting of the 2024-25 year is scheduled for Wednesday, September 18th, at a new venue location, the AUSA Conference Center. I’m excited to see you all there.

Sincerely,
