TALLAHASSEE, Fla.  — Women in HVACR (WHVACR), a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women working in the industry, is seeking nominations for its Pillar and Women to Watch awards, which will be presented at the organization’s annual conference, Built for Speed, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, through Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“One of the greatest strengths of Women in HVACR is the incredible women who invest their time, talent and expertise in lifting others up,” said WHVACR President Jane Sidebottom in a WHVACR press release. “The Pillar Awards and the Women to Watch recognition allow us to celebrate those women whose leadership, innovation, and commitment are strengthening our industry while inspiring the next generation of women to pursue rewarding careers in HVACR.”

Nominations are open now through Monday, Aug. 10. Nominees must be active members of WHVACR.

Three women will be selected for the Pillar Awards, recognizing excellence in mentorship, education and networking.

The Mentor Pillar honors a member who inspires and guides others to achieve success in the HVACR industry.

The Education Pillar recognizes a member who advances learning, professional development, and education in the workplace.

The Network Pillar celebrates a member who has built meaningful professional connections and created opportunities for collaboration and growth throughout the industry.
