Only 10 professionals and 10 apprentices made it to round three and received an all-expenses paid trip to West Palm Beach, Florida, where they competed head-to-head for $100,000 in cash and prizes and the title. And Craig Childress came out the champ.

Our team at ACHR NEWS is excited to recognize more aspects of the HVAC industry, and have readers cast votes on their favorites.

Make sure you have some thick skin and don’t take offense to social biases that you’ll eventually run in to. Women can do anything they set their minds to — just set your mind to it and do it.

I strongly believe that there should be more bold and in-your-face advertising campaigns directed towards women in the trades. This marketing strategy needs to drive it home, to everyone, that there are massive and inclusive employment opportunities in the trades.

My advice is simple: Don’t be afraid to pursue this industry if you have a passion for it. The HVACR field is full of opportunities, and your technical skills, creativity, and leadership can make a significant impact.

Don’t be affected my any negative feedback or comments you may receive. If you’re passionate about what you do, you will succeed.

This is a great industry. We need to keep spreading the word. Features (like this) with such wide readership are a huge help. I think that mentorship and participation in national organizations also provide a camaraderie that many women don’t find in the day-to-day.

I aspire to mentor young female professionals in the HVACR space. Especially the women that desire to advance professionally while carrying the load as single parents.

We don’t have enough women in this industry. The largest challenge is that I still see so many rooms that don’t have diversity that represents the communities we operate in.
