Research Promotion

The Research and Promotion CommiĴee manages and supports both the Society-level fundraising and Chapter-levelfundraising of the RP Campaign. Traditionally supporting just research, the RP Campaign was expanded 10 years agoto include support of Education & ALI, Endowed Research through ASHRAE Foundation, YEA programs, ASHRAEScholarships, and the General/Unrestricted Fund. Research, the backbone of ASHRAE, remains the primary fund ofthe program with over $2 million raised for this program annually.

A strong endowment is a solid indicator of an organization's financial heath and ensures stable, long-term support forprogram, student and initiatives in perpetuity.

Join ASHRAE Hawaii Chapter in reimagining the future of education in Ha-waii.

The ASHRAE Hawaii Chapter - Kokua Scholarship, once fully funded,will provide a yearly $1,500 scholarship to Hawaii students interested in theHVAC industry. Please consider earmarking your donation to this worthycause. You can donate now by visiting www.ashrae.org/make-a-gift.

Membership Promotion

I am honored and feel privileged to serve as your membership promotion commi ee chairman for this year. I tookover for Lori Arakawa last year when she moved to the mainland due to a job promotion. I am glad to get a secondchance to do a be er job this year and with a be er understanding of what needs to be done.

Goals for Membership promotion this year:

1. Get new members – We would like to get an overall increase of at least 5 members. Last year we had an incredi-ble amount of new members (27), but we also had 37 members that did not renew (about 17 of them were formerstudent members).

2. Retain existing members – As mentioned, we need to help our members make sure they renew with a special em-phasis on the 2nd and 3rd year members.

3. Advance existing members – There are four grades of membership: Student, Affiliate, Associate, and Full mem-bers.

· Affiliate grade is to help transition young graduates with a reduced cost for 3 years, but this membershiplasts only for 3 years – person must be under 30 or discharged from military service within the last 5 years.

· Associate grade is the same annual cost as the membership grade but the person may not have the experi-ence, or education levels to meet the Full member criteria.

· Member grade - Members shall have the equivalent of 12 Society-approved years of experience composedof an approved combination of: (1) completed education beyond high school; (2) work experience; and (3)professional engineering or related registration or license issued by a legally authorized body.

Some of the ways we hope to achieve our goals:

1. Form a membership promotion commi ee – as I’ve learned, no one person can do it alone, we are all so busy and itis way easier to get people to take 1 or 2 tasks to focus on and do well than having 1 person try to do 10 things.

2. Have Membership Promotion nights in November and January, to help members as well as guests realize all thebenefits of being a member of ASHRAE.

3. Communicate with our new members welcoming them to ASHRAE HI, reminders to lapsed members, and wel-coming our chapter meeting guests that are non-members le ing them know how to become a member.

4. Communicating with members to encourage them to upgrade their membership.

Greetings to our new members so far this year:
