As we enter November, the season of gratitude, and prepare to close out 2026, I want to thank our members, volunteer leaders, sponsors, and industry partners for their continued commitment to the Connecticut Heating & Cooling Contractors Association.

The fall shoulder season marks another transition for our industry as contractors prepare Connecticut's homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and critical facilities for the heating months ahead. The seasons change, but the essential work of our industry never stops.

For CHCC, 2026 has been a year of transition and opportunity. As we complete our first year under our new membership dues structure, we are evaluating member engagement, benefits, and the value we deliver. Our priorities remain focused on industry advocacy, workforce development, apprenticeship pathways, and our BHAG: doubling the number of registered HVAC apprentices in Connecticut by 2030.

Looking ahead to 2027, we are focused on growing membership, strengthening partnerships, expanding educational opportunities, and delivering greater value to our members. We will celebrate our success of this year, and kick off the new year with our Mingle & Jingle: The Classy Cowboy Post-Holiday Bash on January 23!

This Thanksgiving season, I am especially grateful for the people and businesses that make CHCC possible. Your investment, participation, and willingness to share your time and expertise are what move our Association forward. Thank you for being part of CHCC. Wishing you, your families, and your crews a wonderful Thanksgiving. Here's to finishing 2026 strong and building an even stronger Association in 2027!

Cheers,

Jenn Jennings
Executive Director
