At Bogner HVAC, we believe growth happens when people share knowledge, empower each other, and elevate the trades together. This week, our very own President, Katrina, proudly represented Bogner at the 10th Anniversary Women in HVAC Conference in beautiful Amelia Island, Florida — an event hosted by our longtime partner, Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems.
The conference brought together women from across North America who are shaping the future of the HVAC industry — business leaders, technicians, engineers, and innovators all working toward the same goal: building stronger, smarter, and more inclusive trades.
A Decade of Women Leading Change in the Trades
This year’s event celebrated ten years of progress, connection, and collaboration among women in the HVAC field. As one of the most dynamic industries in the skilled trades, HVAC continues to evolve — embracing new technologies, sustainability, and leadership diversity.
For Katrina, the experience was both inspiring and energizing:
The connections made at this event are invaluable. Every conversation sparks new ideas — about leadership, service, and how we can better support our customers and our team here at Bogner.
Supporting Women in HVAC — Locally and Beyond
Bogner HVAC has always believed that leadership isn’t limited by title or tenure — it’s built through experience, collaboration, and opportunity. As a Santa Cruz-based HVAC company, we’re proud to see more women entering the trades, bringing new energy and perspective to a field that thrives on innovation and precision.
Women play a growing role in every part of the industry — from customer service and system design to installation, diagnostics, and management. Their presence strengthens teams, enhances communication, and helps build a more inclusive, forward-thinking workforce.
Bringing New Ideas Home to Santa Cruz County
Conferences like this remind us why continuing education and professional development matter. The insights Katrina gained — from leadership strategies to customer experience improvements — will directly benefit how Bogner HVAC serves homes and businesses across Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, Soquel, and Scotts Valley.
By combining local expertise with a national network of innovators, Bogner continues to raise the standard for HVAC service and professionalism in our region.
Looking Ahead
We’re already counting down to next year’s Women in HVAC Conference — and to the continued growth of women’s leadership in the trades.
To every woman pursuing a career in HVAC: your contributions matter, your voice is needed, and your work is shaping the future of this industry.
At Bogner HVAC, we’re proud to support that mission every day — right here in Santa Cruz County.
