Federal, state, and local governments propose thousands of ordinances, regulations, and bills each year on building codes and standards; engineering licensure; sustainable buildings; and many other issues impacting ASHRAE members' work. Consequently, member involvement in the policy process is crucial to achieving the Society's overarching mission and goals. This session addresses the current status of key policy initiatives, and provides members guidance for effectively combining technical expertise with policymaking opportunities to become a more effective advocate for themselves, the Society, chapters, and the profession, thus enabling them to become a more "complete" ASHRAE member.
