“After listening to feedback from our members, we are taking the opportunity to revamp our sponsorships to add more value for our contractors,” said WHVACR president Kristin Gallup. “It’s important that we improve our communication with our members, and these new sponsorship options will allow us to more effectively stay in touch with our members to let them know how their sponsorships are helping women in the skilled trades industry.”

Sponsorships enhance the HVACR workforce through education, mentoring, and networking opportunities that support and empower women in the HVACR industry. WHVACR provides a sponsor’s female employees with opportunities to advance personally and professionally and boosts the sponsor’s profile in the industry.

Sponsorship levels include Inspiration, Champion, Empowerment, Visionary, Luminary, and Guardian.

The benefits of sponsorship include a sponsor logo from Women in HVACR that can be posted to the sponsor’s website and on social media, tickets to the WHVACR conference, preferential booth placement at the conference, and expanded mentorship prospects.

Companies can become an endowment fund sponsor by purchasing an Angel sponsorship; Angel sponsorship starts at $1,000. These endowments go toward scholarships and fund initiatives created by WHVACR to help women succeed in the trades.

“We are often asked by company owners about some of the best ways to recruit, hire, and retain women in the trades,” Gallup said. “One of the best ways to do that is to sponsor organizations like Women in HVACR. These scholarships and endowments not only create scholarships, they also help us offer mentorship programs and provide ongoing educational programs for our members.”
