Overview

In order not to diminish the importance of the Associate Societies in ASHRAE's international activities the ASHRAE Board of Directors established, in 1997, a new structure called the ASHRAE Associate Society Alliance, which would include ASHRAE and all recognized Associate Societies, as members. The purpose of this Alliance remains true to the objectives of the original ASHRAE Affiliate Society program – to enable ASHRAE to participate collaboratively in the advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration technologies and to foster effective and fruitful exchanges of ideas and information between participants.
