Â鶹Èë¿Ú

Â鶹Èë¿Ú remains committed to the longevity, stability, and prosperity of the sheet metal and air conditioning industry. Through initiatives like education, training, events, and the development of cutting-edge technical standards, Â鶹Èë¿Ú continues to support our industry’s advancement. 

To ensure the continued success of these initiatives, Â鶹Èë¿Ú’s Board of Directors adopted a scheduled increase in contribution rates in 2023. This change has been communicated to Chapter Executives through multiple channels over the past several years. The Board’s plan introduces a one-cent ($0.01) per hour increase every three years, beginning January 1, 2026. 

• Effective January 1, 2026: 
• U.S. contribution increases from $0.15 to $0.16 per hour (for hours worked after December 31, 2025) 
• Canadian contribution increases from $0.06 to $0.07 per hour (for hours worked after December 31, 2025) 

• Effective January 1, 2029: 
• U.S. contribution increases from $0.16 to $0.17 per hour 
• Canadian contribution increases from $0.07 to $0.08 per hour 

This predictable schedule helps support long-term planning and sustained investment in the industry’s future.  Please contact Aaron Hilger if you have any questions.
