Refrigeration Service Engineers Society Appoints Interim Vice President

Hoke is a member of the RSES educational and examining board, past president of the RSES Fox Valley Chapter, and past president of the RSES Illinois State Association. He served on the nominating committee and the credentials committee at RSES international conferences, a long-range planning sub-committee under the board of directors, and also as an RSES seminar and class instructor.

Hoke is the current building maintenance superintendent for the city of Elgin and has more than 30-years of experience in facility management. He has also worked part time for more than 20 years as an instructor at Elgin Community College in the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning program. He holds many industry certifications and is a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Illinois Council of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Educators and the National Association of Power Engineers.

While Hoke holds the interim position, the board of directors is looking to fill the position permanently.

“We are fortunate to have him on our team and even more fortunate to have him guide our staff until we find a permanent executive vice president, which we are actively seeking,” Marchese says.
