What is government outreach, or “a day on the hill”?:
Government Outreach Events are the pre-eminent opportunity for ASHRAE volunteers to introduce national and sub-national government officials to the association, as well as the issues that are critical to advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration. ASHRAE members began conducting these events as all-day multi-meeting events at U.S. State Capitols, and they were called “Days on the Hill.” During the 2018 Annual Meeting in Houston, the committee changed “Day on the Hill” events to “Government Outreach Days.” The rationale for this change was to broaden these days so that they could be conducted on a global basis. In international settings, “Day on the Hill” did not translate well and the terminology was confusing. In addition, at the 2018 Annual meeting, the committee determined that these events should also be conducted at the local level and with Federal Elected officials.
