ST. LOUIS — ASHRAE announced it installed new officers and directors for 2016-17 during its annual meeting held June 25-29 in St. Louis.
The new president is Timothy Wentz, Fellow ASHRAE and associate professor, University of Nebraska – Lincoln. As ASHRAE’s president, Wentz chairs ASHRAE’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee. His theme, “Adapt Today to Shape Tomorrow,” is based on the goal in ASHRAE’s strategic plan to adapt.
