Sustainable communities are more important than ever...
 
As a staff, we've been talking quite a bit about our Epic Challenge and what it means for the future (if you haven't seen it yet, check it out here).

We're excited. In these times, there feels a need for going bold and building community; being collaborative and advocating unapologetically for green buildings that give people healthy, happier places to live, work and learn.

Join USGBC-Illinois today and be part of the thousands of other members, supporters and volunteers that are leading the way to make this important work happen.

No doubt there are big hurdles in 2017. Even so, it is because of your professional and personal commitment and your interest in USGBC-Illinois, that I know we can take on climate change in a way that strengthens our neighborhoods and improves the quality of life for everyone. 

To do so, we need you. Become a USGBC-Illinois member today because this work is more important than ever.

 
All over the wall in our conference room are the big goals and programs we have planned for the coming year. We're able to set big goals - like helping 3,500 buildings in all parts of Chicagoland to adopt carbon drawdown technology - thanks to our members who have fostered a diverse and passionate community of sustainability experts; experts who are leading the way.

On behalf of all of us here at USGBC-Illinois thank you, 

Brian Imus
Executive Director, USGBC-Illinois

P.S. As thanks, when you sign up or renew your USGBC-Illinois membership between now and the end of the year, you'll be entered to win two Blackhawks box tickets. Even better, recommend a colleague and friend, and be entered as well. Details are here.
