What is the Importance of Your CTTC Position to ASHRAE? "Without effective CTTC Chairs, the Society fails. If we can't get people to a meeting in a well lit, comfortable location; with an engaging, easily understandable speaker; to hear a timely topic of broad interest; with a quality meal; and in a convenient location....they won't stay in ASHRAE nor encourage their colleagues to (MP fails); they won't donate to research (RP fails); they won't encourage students or young engineers to participate (oops there go Student Activities and YEA). You get the point. We in the CTTC business are Society's contacts to the membership. WE make the first impression" - Jeff Gatlin, Region VII RVC, 2008-2011
