2023 Women in HVACR President, Marcia Christiansen!
Each year, Women in HVACR, has the privilege of announcing a new president. Marcia Christiansen, who has served on the Board of Directors since 2018, was recently voted in as the new 2023 president. She has been volunteering her time and expertise to this wonderful organization since 2006 and looks forward to driving meaningful growth for its members, conferences, and scholarships into the future.
President’s message:
“From our humble beginnings we have had outstanding leadership, membership and sponsors that have established this group dedicated to supporting women in a predominantly male industry.
In 2023 our focus will be to grow a World Class Networking Group by working together to invite more women into the trades, distribution, manufacturing, and empower them within HVACR.
We have been extremely grateful for industry Partner organizations that have mission statements and objectives that are aligned with ours, and our Sponsors that enhance our ability to support the industry workforce through Education, Mentoring and Networking opportunities. Our mission translates to our membership never having to go it alone.
I encourage all memberships, and those considering joining, to become part of the discussions. Engage and get to know as many people as possible. We are glad you are here.
This is going to be another amazing year and as President of Women in HVACR I plan to help grow connections through our programs that include weekly zoom meetings, regional events, mentorship and outreach. We offer an industry best annual conference experience so make plans now to attend.”
Marcia lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband Bret and three dachshunds Ella, Coco and Tilly. She loves to travel and camp in her 1957 Airstream.
