Oakton's Ganger Earns Lifetime AFE Membership

The head of two major career programs at Oakton Community College has earned a free lifetime membership in the Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE), to acknowledge his more than 25 years of service to the organization.

Prof. Chad Ganger, a resident of Niles who joined Oakton's faculty in 1977, now is qualified to receive full AFE membership benefits without paying dues, according to an announcement by the group, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.

"This honor is personally gratifying, and emphasizes that students learn from experienced professionals at Oakton," said Ganger, coordinator of the Facilities Management and Engineering and Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology programs.

Ganger holds several Illinois state credentials, including Registered Professional Engineer (PE), Certified Plant Engineer (CPE), and Certified Energy Manager (CEM). He also is a Registered Energy Professional (REP) for the City of Chicago's new energy code.

The AFE provides education, certification, technical information, and many other resources for plant and facility engineering, operations, and maintenance professionals worldwide. Benefits include industry recognition; career advancement; networking and educational opportunities; and access to cutting edge industry publications.
