Are you interested in serving on an ASHRAE standing committee/body?

Assistance is needed in identifying qualified members to serve on our Society’s appointed standing committees/bodies for the 2025-26 Society Year.

One-third of the members of most committees rotate off each year; additionally, a new chair and vice chair must be appointed.   

Standing committee/body vacancies include the following:

• Audit Committee (must be a current BOD member)
• Certification Committee
• Conferences and Expositions Committee
• Development Committee 
• Communications Committee
• Environmental Health Committee
• Finance Committee
• Global Technical Interaction Committee

We ask that you verify with each candidate that they are willing to serve if appointed before submitting their name. All information you submit will remain confidential. Job descriptions for the committees are located at the following link - Job Descriptions

If you would like to view specific qualifications related to the standing body in which you are submitting a nomination, you may visit the following link - ROB Volume 2 - Standing Rules (General Rules, BOD, Councils, and Committees)

(Once reaching the link, you will then need to search (Ctrl +F) the PDF for the standing body in which you would like more information. Full committee names should be used when searching)

Please add your comments on each candidate you recommend to provide additional insight as to why your candidate is well qualified and able to serve on the particular committee.  Please nominate yourself if you would like to be considered, or if you are rotating off of a committee and would like another assignment.  Except in special circumstances, it is preferable for a member to serve on only one Society standing committee at a time.

Members who are appointed will be notified in April.

For Your Information:  If you wish to nominate individuals to serve on grassroots committees, please submit your recommendations through your region. Thank you considering appointment to a standing committee and for giving of your time, talent, and expertise on behalf of ASHRAE.
