The BE+ Living Future Community in partnership with Living Future invites you to recognize and uplift the organizations in our network that are demonstrating meaningful commitments to equity\, transparency\, and justice—both within their workplaces and throughout their projects. \nWhether your organization has already earned a Just label\, is exploring the program for the first time\, or is curious about how Just can support LEED or LBC projects\, this gathering is designed for participants at every level of familiarity. Professionals across disciplines and career stages are encouraged to join. \nTogether\, we’ll celebrate leadership\, exchange knowledge\, and build momentum toward more equitable and transparent practices across the built environment. Expect thoughtful conversations\, opportunities to learn from peers\, and—of course—a chance to celebrate the progress we’re making as a community. \nWhat is Just?The Just program is a voluntary transparency platform created by the International Living Future Institute. Unlike a certification\, Just is a disclosure tool that allows organizations to publicly share information about their operations—including how they support their employees and where they invest financially and within their communities. Learn more about the Just program and how organizations are using transparency to drive positive change. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Featured Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DiAnn Tufts\, Senior Associate & Director of Sustainability at PCA (she/her/hers) strives to create high-performing structures with an emphasis on healthy\, habitable\, and scale-appropriate spaces that contribute to the character of place and build community.
