A well-deserved shout-out 

AIRAH has recognised the decades-long contributions of several active and engaged members at its NSW President’s Shout event. 

Associate director of the Institute’s NSW division committee Gary Knox, F.AIRAH, hosted the event. AIRAH President Mikaila Ganado, M.AIRAH, and CEO Sami Zheng, Affil.AIRAH, attended, as did board member Alan Fok, M.AIRAH. 

Zheng says state-based events like the President’s Shout are a great way for AIRAH to recognise the contributions of its members while connecting and unwinding after a busy year. 

“I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all our members, whose tireless contributions to AIRAH and the HVAC&R industry make life better for millions of Australians,” Zheng says. “Coming together in this social setting is a great way to acknowledge the dedicated people whose work is the backbone of everything the Institute does. 

“2024 has been a huge year for AIRAH, headlined by the redesign and relaunch of both our brand and our website, as well as hosting a number of successful events and making significant strides forward in our advocacy work. We’re excited to approach 2025 with a fresh outlook and some exciting offerings in store.”
