Research Promotion

ASHRAE annually funds about $10 million dollars in research projects that improve our industry technology and standards. Individual chapters across the country help to raise money at the grass roots level and Northeast Oklahoma has been a leader in that effort.

Last year, the NEOK chapter members gave over $36,000.00 for Research Promotion. That’s after the previous year’s record breaking amount in excess of $50,000. Society establishes a goal for each chapter to raise funds that equate to $75.00 per member. Last year, the NEOK chapter raised $146.00 per member.

The Northeast Oklahoma chapter is blessed with active participation from individual members, corporate members, and industry manufacturers. Well over 50% of our membership contributes regularly to Research. We are also very proud of the fact we had a local organization as a Golden Circle contributor. That is, their donation amount was in excess of $10,000. That donor is AAON, Inc. in Tulsa, OK.

While raising money for research is a responsibility our chapter takes seriously, we also have fun doing it. The chapter has a golf tournament, chapter auction, poker night, and other activities through the year to help add to our fund raising efforts.
