Last night was bittersweet, to say the least. We got psyched for Greenbuild coming up in a few months, but we also said goodbye to our Executive Director of almost five years – Grey Lee. We went out in style with good food and drinks, old friends and new, and a gorgeous venue courtesy of Robinson+Cole.
100 guests trekked through the pouring rain – a good sign of our engaged, devoted community – to attend last night. Robinson+Cole's office was attractive, modern, and part of a LEED Green building – what more can you ask for?
We all caught up for the first hour before convening for the night's speeches. Celis Brisbin gathered the crowd to set the tone for the night – a mixture of what's to come, and the commemorative farewell. Todd Isherwood of the Greening Greenbuild Committee gave an update on how far we're already engaging with the local community and it's great to see so many companies already excited for November! Thanks to Jerome Garciano of Robinson+Cole for sharing some words on your devotion to our cause.
Our Corporate Relations Manager, Emily Kingston, gave some sneak previews for Greenbuild that aren't publically available yet. Be on the lookout for more info in the near future regarding registration and scheduling!
The end of the night saw Andrea Love and John Dalzell of our Board take the stage to introduce Grey Lee, to say their thanks, and to deliver his well-deserved gifts: A commemorative plaque, a framed 'Wicked Green' poster, and a photo album of his almost five years here.
Thank you, Grey, for being able to keep the energy alive for the night. We know that you'll always be a part of our community, and we will always be Wicked Green!
Last night was incredibly productive! We held our monthly USGBC MA Board meeting where we defined more goals for the remainder of 2016, and prepare for an exciting 2017. Before we start planning for next year, we have a few more big gatherings coming up soon this year.
Actually, few is an understatement. We have a lot going on in the near future. Here's what you can expect:
