I joined ASHRAE as a Student Member, and continued my membership after graduation, so I could network and learn more about the Buildings Systems Industry. Over my 36 years of continuous learning, my membership has transitioned into collaboration, giving-back and volunteerism.

I joined as a student member for a scholarship and have stayed for the friendships, and technical knowledge that have made me the engineer I am today, and continues to help me grow.

Michelle Swanson, Rocky Mountain Chapter

Frank-Mesicek

The main reason I joined is to learn better HVAC and the reason I stayed is that I learned so much more than I expected. 3 positives for me as an ASHRAE Member are continued development as an Engineer, involvement in the making of Standards and Guidelines, and social networking with all parties involved in my segment of work.
