A Message from Your Chapter President, Bryan Crnarich
Greetings ASHRAE Columbus friends,
I hope you’re all enjoying the tail end of summer and gearing up for another great society year. My name is Bryan Crnarich, and I’m excited (and honored!) to say that I’ll be serving as your chapter president for 2025. Whether you’re brand new to our group or a familiar face, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we start this new journey together.
This Year’s Theme: “Changes for the Better”
Let’s talk about change. It’s a word that can spark excitement—and sometimes a little bit of anxiety! But I truly believe that change, when guided by thoughtful hands and open minds, always brings opportunities. That’s why our local theme this year is “Changes for the Better.” We’re shaking things up in ways big and small, all aimed at making our chapter stronger, more connected, and more fun for everyone.
New Meeting Location: Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center
First up on our list of updates: we’re moving our monthly meetings! Starting this year, our regular gatherings will be held at the Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center on the OSU campus. This spot offers us plenty of room, easy parking, and a fresh atmosphere right in the heart of Buckeye country. If you haven’t visited before, you’re in for a treat—the facility is modern, convenient, and perfect for networking, learning, and sharing ideas.
Annual Golf Outing: Safari Golf Club
And for all our golf fans, we’re switching things up for our annual golf outing. Say hello to the Safari Golf Club as our new destination! With stunning greens, friendly staff, and a relaxed setting, it’s a fantastic spot to tee off, catch up with friends, and maybe even show off that swing you’ve been practicing. We hope this new location will bring some fresh excitement to this beloved chapter tradition.
Gratitude for Our Incredible Board of Governors
None of this would be possible without the energy, creativity, and dedication of our amazing Board of Governors. It’s hard to overstate how grateful I am for their volunteerism and the countless hours they put in behind the scenes to make our chapter the best it can be. From planning events to welcoming new members to keeping our operations running smoothly, they truly embody what it means to serve. Please join me in thanking each member of the board for their continued commitment and passion.
Optimism for the Future
As we look forward to the coming year, I’m filled with optimism. Our chapter is made up of talented, thoughtful, and energetic individuals who care about each other and about our mission. Together, we’ll navigate these changes with the same spirit of curiosity and collaboration that’s always defined the ASHRAE Columbus Chapter.
I encourage each of you to get involved—attend meetings, volunteer for committees, join us on the golf course, and bring your ideas to the table. This is your chapter, and your participation makes all the difference.
See You Soon!
Thank you for being part of ASHRAE Columbus, for your commitment to our industry, and for your willingness to grow alongside us. Here’s to a year of positive change, new memories, and progress—for our chapter, for our profession, and for each of us.
Let’s make 2025 the best society year yet!
Warmest regards,
Bryan Crnarich
