A recap of 2015 with the Chapter:
Happy New Year Everyone!
Thank you for being a part of what we do to advance the cause of Green Buildings in Massachusetts. Look at everything we have going on in our January Newsletter. There is a list of highlights to some of the best stories from 2015. Thank you especially to our members!
Because of your efforts, we are leading the nation in many aspects of green building. I am confident that we will continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration to our colleagues throughout the land in 2016.
Many of you reading this have yet to join up: please do. It's easy to connect with us and wear our badge. As a committed member, you help us grow our ranks and grow our influence in policy arenas, in the market transformation process and in our communities in general.
Join us and come to our Annual General Meeting in Boston on 1/21 at 5:30 – 7:30.
Please take a second to review the upcoming events we have at the USGBC MA Chapter:
Tuesday 1/12/16 Embrace the Net Zero Future! Gather for a training with Eric Corey Freed (the Organic Architect) – in Boston from 8:30am-12noon
Also Tuesday, evening, 1/12/16 Join us for the joint mixer with I2SL – the Labs People – at Sacco's Bowl Haven in Somerville from 5:30-7:30pm
And if you want to scale the Net Zero reality, look at what the City of Cambridge has done – we'll hear from Susanne Rasmussen on their Net Zero Action Plan on Thursday, 1/28/16 from 8:30-10am
And if you are interested in running for our Board, or helping someone motivate and be nominated, take a look at our election process page here.
Thank you for being a part of our mission. I look forward to seeing you in 2016 at one of our upcoming events. Feel free to send me a message and say hi!
