Every year at the Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) every Chapter in Region XI will give a Summary of the past years’ activities. The CRC was scheduled to be in Edmonton for the May 05, 06 and 07, 2021. For obvious reasons because of COVID-19 travel at that time was not a good idea. The yearly Region XI, CRC became a virtual event again.

What follows are the slides that we would have presented about our VI ASHRAE, Chapter #145 activities. Figure 1 is just about house keeping identifying who we are. I (Calvin Tripp) and Vice President or Alternate Yoora Byeon would have talked about our activates and try to answer questions as best we could.

With all these summaries you will see a 3 to 4-year historical snapshot. As indicate we are in pretty good shape financially as a chapter.

Figure 7: Membership Promotion

In Figure 7 we talk about our accomplishments with Membership and Promotion. You can see Yoora and the Team have done a really good job to try to retain members and introduce some new members into our chapter.

Figure 8 and 9, closely connected to Student Actives and Membership Promotion is our Young Engineers of ASHRAE or YEA events, you will see a short summary of those joint events in Figure 10

For the technical meetings or Chapter Technology Transfer (CTTC) as can be seen in Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13 there was interesting virtual meetings because of COVID-19.  Very good GoToMeeting supported from Society.  There was reasonable participation considering it was 100% virtual.

Research and Promotion (RP) was pretty static this year we did try online payment, this can be seen in Figure 14.  There has been a slow and steady increase from our chapter to RP each year.

Figure 15: Government Affairs

Lots of activity for Government Affairs, Figure 15. Activities for information about our Chapter History can be seen in Figure 16 and Figure 16, Kyle H. has done a good job to get most of the physical items into digital format.

Every year we prepare for the next year, in this case 2021/22.  The transitions occurs on July 1st each year.  In Figure 20 you can see who is in what role for next year.  You will see lots of new people and lots of returning members as well.  A couple of new roles are Member at large and Sustainability.

Another common question we get from Membership is where were the CRC’s and where will the next CRC be.  The 2021-2021 CRC will be in Regina May 04 to 07, 2022.
