BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Barb Checket-Hanks, whose name has long been familiar to readers of The News, has gained recognition within the prestigious American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The News' Service-Maintenance editor was nominated to chair Technical Committee (TC) 9.5's Programs and Publications Subcommittee. The TC covers residential and small building applications.
"I am deeply gratified by the appointment," said Checket-Hanks. "I am also very grateful to outgoing Programs Subcommittee chair Charlie Culp, Ph.D., P.E., for nominating me." Culp will become the TC's chair after the ASHRAE annual meeting in June, succeeding outgoing chair Glenn Friedman, P.E.
