ASHRAE’s 2021-22 president is Mick Schwedler, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP. During his inaugural presidential address, Schwedler announced the new Society theme will be “Personal Growth.

“This Society Year, we will examine how ASHRAE cultivates its deep, widespread, and strong roots to collectively provide global benefits today as well as for future generations,” said Schwedler. “Most importantly, we ask for your active participation in helping someone else grow.”

Schwedler is an Applications Engineer at Trane in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
