RETA and RSES announce merger

USA: The Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES) has announced a merger with the Refrigerating Engineers & Technicians Association (RETA). 

RETA is the leader in training, education, and certification for industrial refrigeration technicians and engineers. RSES is a leader in training, education, and certification for professional HVACR technicians and contractors.

The merger takes place after nearly three years of discussion and planning. This decision was made to help strengthen two long-standing non-profit sister associations within the HVACR industry under one management model. 

RETA executive director Jim Barron, who was appointed interim executive vice president of RSES in August last year, will serve as the executive director of the combined organisation.
