American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and is a member of the Interior Climate
Control Steering Committee of the Mobile Air Conditioning Society
(MACS).

G.M. Bracciano - received a bachelor's degree in Education, a

master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and an education
specialist degree in Administrative Leadership. She completed
coursework in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and
Refrigeration through Oakland and Macomb Community Colleges.
