I'm fired. I have $100 spread across four bank accounts. I'm a
first-time father of a 10-week old baby boy. I'm the sole breadwinner of
my family. My wife works at keeping our beautiful home and caring for
our newborn son.

The 2009 HVACR Woman of the Year will be profiled in the July 2009 issue

peers at HVAC Comfortech, the national, residential and light commercial
HVAC seminar and showcase.
Beyond providing the person’s name, nominations must include a written
