President’s Message Update - April 3, 2018 By: Damon McClure
Hello, Central Oklahoma Chapter! April is big month for our chapter as we prepare to attend the Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) for Region VIII. The CRC will be hosted by Alamo Chapter April 26th through April 28th in San Antonio. As mentioned last month, I highly recommend any chapter member that is interested (or that will be become actively involved as a chair, officer, and/or committee member) to attend. The CRC is the culmination of the chapter year including a business meeting, social events, the Chapter Award presentation for the prior year’s accomplishments, and chapter operation training. I hope to see several chapter members in attendance at the next chapter meeting and at the CRC!
This month’s meeting will be a lunch chapter meeting at 11:30am Wednesday, 4/4/18. We
will host ASHRAE DL Pam Duffy presenting “How Standards Are Made, And Other ASHRAE “SECRETS””. Please attend to enjoy a nice lunch and a great presentation from an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and receive your PDHs. We will also be hosting a joint YEA/ASPE brewery tour on 4/12/18, so check out YEA section in the newsletter for the details. Lastly, Brian Sauer, our chapter sustainability chair, has put together our second sustainability event for the chapter. We will be hosting a riverfront cleanup day this Saturday, April 7, 2018 at the Oklahoma City Boathouse District & Riversports complex. Join our chapter to do our part to serve the community for sustainable future.
Our Student Activities committee will be continuing its our chapter efforts to outreach to local mechanical trade unions
to ensure the current and next generation tradesmen/tradeswomen are involved in ASHRAE. Scott Sanders (SA Chair) and I are working on dates to host meet and greet with Tommy O’Donnell, the Training Director for Plumbing, Pipefitting, and Service Tech Local 344 Union, and with Bob Demechko, the President of Sheet Metal Local 124 Union, at their respective apprenticeship schools discuss what ASHRAE is and the benefits of being a member. Please contact me directly if you are interested in being a part of either presentation.
ASHRAE COK/NE Day on the Hill was a great success on March 27, 2018. This was our annual Day on the Hill at the
Oklahoma City Capitol. We had a combined 18-20 members, chairs, and/or officers from Central and Northeast Oklahoma chapters that met with local state policymakers to discuss building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration, and sustainability within our industry. We made a concerted effort to have ASHRAE’s purpose heard! Please reference the photos in the newsletter. We will provide a full write up of the representatives and senators we met with in the next newsletter. In summary, we have several chapter committees working to closeout key chapter items before CRC. I am proud of the accomplishments our chapter has made this year and I am looking forward to presenting these accomplishments at the CRC. I was told by Bill Klock, former Region VIII DRC, in president-elect training, “We as chapter presidents should strive to make our chapter a little better than as we found it”. His statement really resonated with me and was my guidance for this year and the initial mantra “Contribute. Purpose.” I presented at the beginning of the chapter year. However, I am only one person, and one person cannot accomplish everything. Therefore, I would like to personally thank everyone that has had a part in our chapter’s success, past and present, student member to fellow, and largest contribution to smallest contribution. Thank you for your contribution.

ASHRAE Companions Night – 2018 The 2018 ASHRAE Companions Night was held 3-16-18 at Remington Park and I think all who attended would agree that we had a great evening. Karine LeBlanc with US Air, and an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer provided a terrific presentation. After dinner we watched the live racing action from the balcony. A big thank you goes to all who attended and I hope everyone is looking forward to next year’s event! Another big thank you goes to all our great sponsors whose donations helped make the evening possible! Wattie-Wolfe Co. EEI ADG Darr & Collins Hambrick Ferguson Victaulic ABS

Topic: How Standards Are Made, And Other ASHRAE “SECRETS” Have you ever wondered how a standard is made, or who the people are behind all those “shalls” and “exceptions”? Who writes the ASHRAE Handbooks? How does one get an article into the ASHRAE Journal or present at a Conference? In this presentation, we’ll cover the methods behind the madness, and share how any ASHRAE member can get more involved in Society-level activities.
I hope you can make it to the meeting. If you have any questions or concerns about upcoming meetings please contact me at

Student Activities Events and Scholarships
By: Scott Sanders & Robert Smith
With the Winter Conference wrapped up, in the last issue we presented the Oklahoma State University ASHRAE Student Members experiences in Chicago. This month, we would like to present the experiences that the ASHRAE Student Members from the University of Oklahoma enjoyed while visiting Chicago. Aaron Goodwin, a recent scholarship recipient from our Chapter wrote about their time in Chicago. Recently, with the help of my local ASHRAE chapter and some organizational help from our student branch president, Shima Shahahmadi, myself and my friend David were both able to attend the ASHRAE Conference and industry ASHRAE Expo in Chicago. While there, we were able to learn a great deal about what is happening in the industry in both broad and specific terms. For instance, I was able to attend the Global Trends in HVAC seminar which discussed the statistical trends that have been observed by industry professionals. We were also allowed to attend several research seminars which discussed current issues as well as important new technologies in HVAC systems. At the Expo, we met what seemed to be countless vendors and companies who were displaying their newest and most impactful equipment.
All of these experiences culminated into one, overall eye-opening experience and an unsurpassed opportunity
to network. At both the conference and at the Expo, we were each able to meet and speak with many practicing
professionals both on the side of manufacturing equipment and those who design HVAC systems. While touring
the expansive ASHRAE Expo with a local representative for manufacturers, I was also given very practical insight
into equipment that was being shown and was introduced to several company leaders who answered questions I
had about their systems. I know without the financial support given by ASHRAE this opportunity would not have
been possible. Therefore, David and I want to extend our deepest gratitude to those who support this program and
allow us OU students to attend such an important world-wide convention as the industries provide the best they
can offer all in one place. Thank you again and hopefully in our future careers we will be able to continue to
participate in ASHRAE conferences again.

Historian Message By: Dusty Stoabs
History of the PAOE and the Golden Gavel Award It’s that time of year again when the Spring Chapter’s Regional Conferences (CRC’s) are about to kick off. There are a lot of awards at stake as well as the pressure that comes with making sure the Chapter lives up to its reputation! Some chapters have a Fall CRC, but those that have Spring CRC’s are now making sure all “Presidential Award of Excellence” (PAOE) points are recorded and are preparing their annual reports. It’s also the time of year when excitement begins to build on who will win the Golden Gavel Award!
The Golden Gavel Committee is charged with annually determining the best overall Chapter in the region based on thirteen criteria. The Golden Gavel judges are selected by the current Director/Regional Chair at the beginning of the Society year. The judges consist of a Chair who must have been a past Director/Regional Chair and six (6) additional members and two (2) qualified alternates who serve only in the absence or inability of a member. Two of the committee members must be past Director/Regional Chairs, and the balance must be past Chapter Presidents. No two of the committee members may be from the same Chapter. During the ASHRAE winter meeting in Columbus, OH in 1968, Central Oklahoma’s own William J. Collins, Jr. had several lengthy discussions with George Meffert of Dallas, TX and Jack Thompson, also out of Dallas, concerning ways of stimulating chapter activities in Region VIII. From these discussions evolved the Golden Gavel Award. Collins and Thompson formulated the award criteria. They determined that the award would consist of a golden gavel lapel pin for the chapter president, an emblematic patch for the chapter’s award banner, and an actual golden gavel for the chapter to keep during the coming society year. For the president’s lapel pin, as designed by Mr. Collins, the president’s diamond past-president pin would be sent to a jeweler to affix a miniature gavel of gold to the bottom of the pin. The Golden Gavel Past President lapel pin would then be given to the winning president. The hand-held golden gavel was purchased by Mr. Collins, on which he had inscribed “ASHRAE REGION VIII GOLDEN GAVEL”. This gavel would be passed from chapter to chapter each year to the new winner. At the Region VIII CRC in Houston, TX in April 1970, Society President-Elect Frank Bridgers from Albuquerque, NM was so impressed by the effects of the new golden gavel competition among the Region VIII chapters that he conceived the idea of the PAOE. In January, 1971, at the winter society meeting, President Bridgers announced his award of excellence for the coming society year. Today, the PAOE is still put forth by the Society President each year defining the official goals for accomplishment and winning the Golden Gavel competition is still the ultimate achievement of a chapter.
