Gary Sundell Loren Likes Steve Jennerjohn Julia Keen Tom Below Dan Dennis Dan Dennis Kelly Christiansen Justin Marxen President's Corner The past few weeks and months have brought very interesting times for us all. Hopefully this month s newsletter fins you all in good health and spirits. AS our nation and the world come together to solve the problems we are face with, energy conservation and the operating cost savings associated with it will come to the forefront. Coordination with facility owners, operators, consultants, and equipment manufacturers will become ever more important. With this in mind, our next meeting is a joint meeting with the Association of Facility Engineers and will be a facility tour. I hope everyone can find time in our schedules to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to tour a facility, network with our peers and develop relationships that will help us all move forward. As always, I look forward to seeing everyone. Eric Granzow DISTINGUISHED LECTURER APRIL 28TH. On April 28 th the CV ASHRAE Chapter will host the distinguished lecturer Stanley Mumma.
