Mission
As the green building industry continues to lead the way for future generations, it is the intent of the EP to support diverse educational opportunities and dynamic training scenarios within the USGBCNF Chapter. Hosting green workshops, webinars, social events, design competitions, and monthly meetings are the primary methods for educational advancement and community engagement.
Further, the EP in conjunction with the USGBCNF Chapter will endeavor to promote unique opportunities such as touring LEED certified buildings, providing orientation on USGBC building practices, and alerting members to LEED projects seeking USGBC certification. Integrating both educational components and training experiences with the coordination of the USGBCNF Chapter will better prepare EP members for careers and advocacy within the Green Building Industry.
