September 2019 Chapter Meeting

Location: Idaho Power Building 1221 W. Idaho St. Boise, ID 83702

Share Speaker: Wesley Stanfill – Chapter President Topic: ASHRAE’s New Strategic Plan This plan, developed by the ASHRAE Planning Committee in collaboration with the Board of Directors, will guide the work of the Society during the five-year period from 2019-2024. It was developed during 2018-2019 through a process initiated by a stakeholder engagement exercise involving members of ASHRAE and key industry organizations who gave their views on ASHRAE’s position in the industry and its perceived strengths and challenges. With facilitation by the Planning Committee, the BOD then conducted a brainstorming session to develop preliminary objectives and initiatives. These included both outward-facing issues affecting the industry and society as well as inward-facing issues related to the needs of ASHRAE members and organizational efficiency. The final phase of development was preparation of implementation plans, tracking procedures, promotional roll-out and budget estimates. The final plan was drafted by the Planning Committee with board oversight following multiple reviews, including review by Regional leadership teams. Communication of the new plan to councils and committees began in Spring 2019 with formal implementation beginning in July 2019. Outcomes: Higher levels of member engagement, satisfaction and loyalty Increased operational efficiency and market responsiveness Demonstrated leadership in meeting societal needs through expanded research, application to practice and strategic partnerships Increased awareness of ASHRAE and use of its technical resources among priority stakeholders Increased global adaptation of ASHRAE Standards Increased breadth in ASHRAE’s product offerings Tickets $0.00 Member Ticket $15.00 Guest Ticket $0.00 Student Ticket
