Enertech Global is both somewhat dispirited yet immensely excited to announce that our own Jeff Hammond is moving on. This move, however, will be a great benefit to the larger geothermal industry, and Mr. Hammond will be bringing his expertise and knowledge to IGSHPA. The International Ground Source Heat Pump Association has been laser-focused on re-invigorating the entire industry, and Jeff's transition is coming at the perfect time. We have no doubt that Mr. Hammond and IGSHPA's combined experience and passion will be a significant asset to the future of ground source heat pumps. Read IGSHPA's official press release below!
IGSHPA Hires Executive Director
IGSHPA announced today that Jeff Hammond will be joining the organization as Executive Director, effective October 4, 2021. In this newly created role, Mr. Hammond will be responsible for identifying and pursuing strategic growth and innovation opportunities for IGSHPA, which is a non-profit, member-driven organization established in 1987 to advance ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology on local, state, national, and international levels.
