Welcome to another year of ASHRAE for the Saskatoon Chapter. This year I will be taking over the Research Promotion Chair position. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jonathan Bushman for his hard work as the RP Chairperson for the 2011-2012 campaign. He exceeded the goal of $9500.00 and raised a grand total of 10,437.00. Thanks also to his RP committee of Ryan MacGillivray, Jesse Friggstad and Kirk Nagus. Job well done by all. Overall ASHRAE raised 2,191756 for research. To acknowledge the donation of the 2011-2012 campaign, ASHRAE Saskatoon will hold a donor recognition night on Tuesday October 9th. In attendance for the evening we will have the RVC of Research Promotion, Ryan MacGillivray.
