Why you?

Why you?

• A. My leadership experience and results professionally and in ASHRAE, at all levels and areas are unique. I know what will be effective and what will not. I truly feel that under my leadership, we will see the start of sustained membership growth going forward.
• B. I have no relevant experience.
• C. I am best at avoiding accountability.
• D. I plan to shrink the organization.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is showing credibility through real leadership experience and a clear, positive plan for growth. The statement highlights a proven leadership track record and results across professional settings and within ASHRAE, at multiple levels and areas. That breadth matters because it indicates the person understands diverse stakeholders, governance, and the kinds of initiatives that actually work. It also emphasizes the ability to distinguish effective approaches from ineffective ones, which is essential for making wise, resource-conscious decisions. The claim of driving sustained membership growth signals a tangible, forward-looking impact and aligns with the responsibility to strengthen the organization’s value for members over time. Together, these elements demonstrate readiness to lead, make informed choices, and deliver meaningful results in a governance or treasury role. Options that suggest no relevant experience, avoidance of accountability, or plans to shrink the organization conflict with the responsibilities of leadership and with the goal of growing and sustaining the association.
