Happy New Year! I’ve never been more excited to see a new year than in 2021. I’m sure we are all in the same boat on that feeling after the challenging year we experienced in 2020. Despite the tough year, Women in HVACR had another strong year. We had our first ever virtual annual conference and had record attendance there. Our sponsors came through yet again and were extremely generous with their contributions that helped us continue to provide the many benefits our members have become accustomed to. We were able to continue with our successful bi-weekly zoom in calls with a variety of top notch speakers on a vast array of important and timely topics to educate our members. Our mentorship program remained strong despite the ability to see each other in person. One of our biggest accomplishments was launching our new membership portal software, to allow our members and sponsors to get more out of their participation in Women in HVACR and to be able to manage their accounts more easily, learn about and connect with other members in the member directory, learn about upcoming events, scholarship opportunities, mentorship, ambassadorship and more!

Looking ahead to 2021, we look forward to helping our members and sponsors learn and adopt and use our new membership portal, continue with the amazing educational zoom in sessions, expand our ambassador and mentorship program participation and generally help our members bounce back from a challenging 2020. We wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2021!
