 The
Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI),
the trade association representing manufacturers of air conditioning, heating
and commercial refrigeration equipment, announced that AHRI CEO Jack
Klimp will be retiring as of June 1, 2009, and that it is restructuring
its staff responsibilities to better position the year-old association to
accomplish its core missions of excellence in standards, certification, and
advocacy.
Stephen R. Yurek will continue to serve as the association's president, with
the support of the direct reports from Joe Mattingly that continues
as general counsel and corporate secretary; Stephanie Murphy that will have
responsibility for finance, membership, and office operations; Bill Tritsis that
will have direct responsibility for certification programs; and finally, from Henry
Hwong that will have direct responsibility for standards, product section
services, and statistical programs.
"We
have taken these steps to strengthen the ability of our staff to provide
quality member services while preparing for the real possibility that we will
need to expand our advocacy efforts both at home and abroad in the near
future," said AHRI Chairman Keith Coursin. "Our industry is
absolutely vital to the health, comfort, and safety of people all over the
world, and I am confident in the ability of our staff to represent us in a
proactive, professional manner." |
