    CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: HVAC WOMAN OF THE YEAR

    Contracting Business magazine is accepting nominations for its Seventh Annual Woman of the Year Award.

    Nominees must either own a contracting firm or hold an upper management position, and be a leader in the HVAC community. We seek specific examples of outstanding achievements and a solid record of leadership within a candidate’s own HVACR firm, and throughout the industry.

    We consider years in the industry, positions held, technical expertise, business acumen, association, involvement, and the commitment to promote and improve the HVAC industry.

    The 2009 HVACR Woman of the Year will be profiled in the July 2009 issue of Contracting Business, and be recognized before an audience of her peers at HVAC Comfortech, the national, residential and light commercial HVAC seminar and showcase.

    Beyond providing the person’s name, nominations must include a written description of the nominee's history in the industry, and key accomplishments, both in the company, and in the HVACR industry.

    For more information, or to submit a nomination, please contact Terry McIver, executive editor, at 216/931-9732 or email him at tmciver@penton.com.
