Region VI YEA Leadership Weekend Scholarship
YEA leadership weekends are an opportunity for the future leaders of ASHRAE to learn more about Society, develop soft skills, and network with other young professionals. Region VI has established two scholarships to provide assistance with transportation (flight) costs associated with attending the leadership weekend and/or the registration fee (lodging and most meals) up to $750 USD. Any costs exceeding this amount will need to be covered by the scholarship recipient.
Region VI LeaDRS Application
The LeaDRS program gives future Regional Leaders the opportunity to shadow the Region VI DRC at a Society Winter or Summer Meeting. The program will allow the incoming or new regional leader to gain a better understanding of both regional and Society operations.

Support YEA
To ensure these opportunities continue indefinitely, YEA has established an endowment fund with the ASHRAE Foundation. This fund provides scholarships for deserving YEA members to participate in Leadership Weekends. Our goal is to raise $30,000 for an endowment specially created by YEA for YEA! Together, we can make a significant difference in the personal and professional lives of YEA members and the future of our industry by contributing today. Every donation counts towards reaching our goal and supporting YEA members.
