Announcing Our 2025–2026 ASHRAE Ozarks Chapter Officers

We’re excited to introduce the new leadership team for the ASHRAE Ozarks Chapter as we kick off the 2025–2026 year!

Ryan Jones of CJD Engineering, LLC has been elected Chapter President. Ryan is an Owner/Principal at CJD with over 20 years of experience in mechanical engineering. His deep technical expertise and leadership within the industry will help guide the chapter forward this year.

Chris Ruth of Integrated Facility Services will serve as Chapter Vice President. Chris leads the Mid-Missouri Controls team and brings more than 20 years of experience in building automation and controls. His passion for energy efficiency and smart building systems will bring valuable insight to our chapter initiatives.

We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Past-President Zach Altis for his outstanding service and leadership during his term. Zach’s dedication helped position the chapter for continued growth and success.

As we move into the new year, there are still a few open committee roles we’re looking to fill. You can view the full list of open positions and get involved by checking out our Kick Off Post.
