President Message-May 2010

Already the last President's message! Can you believe it?

I was just getting used to mastering the monthly meeting and having fun with it! Oh well, I often joke about it, but I really enjoyed myself being the President of this chapter and I will certainly miss it. We have a lot of fun as a team, we have strong discussions at our board meetings, exchange ideas, recommendations to better our chapter and without a doubt, ourselves. We put a lot of efforts into our work as a volunteer.

Speaking of volunteer, I would like to emphasis the hard work of all during this past ASHRAE year and congratulate everyone on the board and on the standing committees for their fabulous energy and commitment. It doesn't matter how good is a President if his team is not there behind to do their assigned tasks. So congratulations to Andy Khechoumian, Jeffrey Landreth, Aaron Deutsch, Monique Kinney, Narendra Amarnani, Matt Church, Edwin Hornquist, Scott Neithercut, Jim Toda, Chris Zabaneh, Sue Colvin, Joe Ablay, Carleton Beck, Omar Chamma, Christine Cloutier, Sean Gouw, Mike Hass, Chad Herrick, Joey Jiron, Don LaMarr, Clay Lampman, David McKinney, Margaret Motagally, Phil Trafton!

Most of the team mentioned above will attend the President-Elect induction Ceremony on Sunday June 27th. We would love to have you part of the dinner party, it promises to be a lot of fun with belly dancers and the crew from the show "Dancing with the Stars"! Come to welcome Andy Khechoumian as the new President of the Southern California chapter for the year 2010-2011. Please visit our website for more detailed information and to sign up here.

The Spring Seminar was a huge success, over 60 people attended the session conducted by Chris Miller and Steve Taylor. Our next and last event of the year is the spring golf tournament, we have around 60 sign ups already and we are still accepting registration. Please visit our website for more information and to sign up online here.

Thank you for all your support towards our chapter, we really appreciate it! Don't forget that the dues renewal will come faster than you think. . ..we need your help to keep our chapter at its best!

Hope to see you at our last meeting of the year before the summer break and also at the President Installation dinner!

Aurevoir!
