Membership Committee

Mission:  Responsible for getting and retaining members.  The Committee also coordinates the public relations of HARDI so the HVAC industry better understands the value distribution brings to the entire industry, from vendor to distributor/wholesaler to customer.  Prospective members should be selected who are able to contribute their skills in such a way that they benefit the Association as a whole.
