The group’s revamped sponsorships provide contractor members with more value and opportunities for thought leadership
Women in HVACR (WHVACR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration trades, has announced its new 2025 sponsorship levels, which will bring more value to contractor members and allow them to support women in the trades.
“After listening to feedback from our members, we are taking the opportunity to revamp our sponsorships to add more value for our contractors,” said Women in HVACR President Kristin Gallup. “It’s important that we improve our communication with our members, and these new sponsorship options will allow us to more effectively stay in touch with our members to let them know how their sponsorships are helping women in the skilled trades industry.”
These sponsorships enhance the industry workforce through education, mentoring and networking opportunities that support and empower women currently in the HVACR industry. Women in HVACR provides a sponsor’s female employees with opportunities to advance personally and professionally and boosts the sponsor’s profile in the HVACR industry.
Sponsorship levels include:
- Inspiration
- Champion
- Empowerment
- Visionary
- Luminary
- Guardian
The expanded benefits include a unique sponsor logo from Women in HVACR that can be posted to the sponsor’s website and on social media, tickets to the Women in HVACR conference, preferential booth placement at the conference, and expanded mentorship prospects.
Companies can become an endowment fund sponsor by purchasing an Angel sponsorship. The Angel sponsorship starts at $1,000, but those who want to support the program can donate as much as they like. These endowments go to sponsor scholarships and fund initiatives created by Women in HVACR to help women succeed in the trades.
“We are often asked by company owners about some of the best ways to recruit, hire and retain women in the trades,” Gallup said. “One of the best ways to do that is to sponsor organizations like Women in HVACR. These scholarships and endowments not only create scholarships, they also help us offer mentorship programs and provide ongoing educational programs for our members.”
Other benefits can include opportunities to showcase a sponsor’s thought leadership and dedication to diversity with a speaking opportunity at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas on Feb. 4-6, 2026, webinar collaborations, recognition during a monthly membership call and in a magazine ad in Women in HVACR’s new magazine, Elevate, and an interview on a Women in HVACR partner’s industry podcast.
