Friday August 8th, approximately two dozen members of the USGBC MA West Branch (and friends & family) attended the second annual Summer Social BBQ at the home of former West Branch Chair Ludmilla Pavlova-Gilham in North Amherst.
We convened our monthly organizational meeting during the social event. Topics included:
- Organizing for the Green Apple Day of Service
- Enhancing communications and using social media
- Exploring the webinar, study group and GBCI credit-reporting situations
- Update on the Common School
- Update on USGBC National's re-organization of the Chapters & membership process
It was a great gathering had by all. Especially enjoyable was meeting people new to the group through the Western MA Green Consortium. We all look forward to further collaboration among members of our green building community in Western Massachusetts.
Happy Rest-of-Summer, Everyone!
