The primary role of an ASHRAE Chapter Research Promotion (RP) Chair is to lead local fundraising campaigns. Chapters raise funds to support society-wide ASHRAE research. These campaigns also benefit education programs, student scholarships, the ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI), and Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA)
The RP Committee manages both Society-level and Chapter-level fundraising. For a complete breakdown of roles, procedures, and how to get involved, you can review the ASHRAE RP page

- Endowed Support: Investing in long-term funds via the ASHRAE Foundation.
- YEA Programs: Providing leadership and networking training for young professionals.
- Scholarships: Assisting undergraduate students entering the industry.
