Robin Hankins has assembled a program line-up that promises to be full of interesting topics and chalked full of information you can apply in your daily project challenges.  Grady Saunders has jumped into the lead as Membership Committee chair and is working diligently to identify new blood and bring back old friends that may have taken a break for a while.  John Cole will be working with Dr. Singh and the NC A&T Student Chapter as well as facilitating other teachers in the area to promote interest in the HVAC and engineering fields.  We are also are fortunate enough to have Lee Huffines, a recent NC State grad and transfer from the Triangle Chapter to take the lead with the Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA).  He will be working with both John and Grady to help mentor and encourage young engineers and others new to our business.  The Research Promotion Committee Chair this year is Mark Reavis.  This is a challenging but very important role as it is the key funding source for academic and well as industry research critical to the advancement of industry.  He will be assisted by Co-Chair Tony Santoro.  Jim Swofford will organize the golf tournaments -- another key element of our Research fundraiser activities.  Jamie King has been kind enough to serve as both Secretary and Refrigeration Committee Chair this year.  Morgan Jones will once again preserve the legacy of our Chapter as the History Committee chair.  Jeff Vestal will take over the books as Chapter Treasurer.  And rounding out the Board of Governors are familiar faces of Drayton Stott, Tom Phoenix, Bryan Holcomb, Andy Cochrane, Robert Bouknight and Billy Williams who have been past officers to lend their experience and help guide us to another great year of learning and fellowship.
