By Celis Brisbin, Programs Manager
Our Emerging Professionals Committee, is working on great events this fall. New alliances with
the sustainablility networks at Northeastern and Boston
University are helping them grow their impact across Boston. If you are a student and would like to represent or involve your school with the USGBC MA Emerging Professionals group, please email our Programs Manager, Celis Brisbin (celis@usgbcma.org).
In the works, are:
- Bike tour of Green Buildings in Boston
- Green Building campus tour at Northeastern – date TBD
- Halloween Event – more information to come
- End of year EPMA dinner – more information to come
If you are interested in helping with mentorship, volunteering, career development or educational programming for higher-ed students and professionals new to green building, you are invited to the next EPMA meeting.
Here is the a little more about the group:
The USGBC Massachusetts Emerging Professionals is a group of green building professionals who are relatively new to the industry. We are inclusive of students fresh out of college or more seasoned professionals simply new to the sustainable field.
We work to provide an avenue for all our members to become engaged with the greater green community of Boston and the greater Massachusetts area.
EPMA strives to provide these connections through educational and career development events, networking gathering, volunteer programs and other events which promote the conservation, regeneration and stewardship of natural resources through sustainable building practices.
All are encouraged to attend EPMA’s monthly meetings where we plan our upcoming events. If you have a great idea for an EP event that you would like see come to life, please contact the committee chairs or attend an upcoming meeting!
To learn more about EPMA and join the mailing list, please contact the Committee Chair or visit the EPMA facebook group page
If you are interested in starting an EPMA committee in your MA neighborhood please email us at info@usgbcma.org.
