Thankful we're GREEN! Support Our Chapter and #GivingTuesday with a Smile and a #Selfie

Hello < Wicked Green!>

What are you thankful for? We appreciate your support and ongoing participation.

We are grateful that you support our mission to transform the built environment for net positive results!

Check out the hexagraphical Road to Greenbuild below.

Have you seen the notes on our recent activities on our blog? There are calls for action, interesting news and observations.

The leaves are falling fast, sales are popping up everywhere, and everyone's on their way to see friends and family for the holidays. There's much for everyone to be thankful for this time of year, and we're thankful to have such an awesome community of green building advocates that we call our friends and comrades. As 2016 comes to an end, we'd like to spend time with you at our upcoming events, and to start 2017 with you as well!

I especially want to see you at our Greenbuild Kick-off Event on 12/15 in Boston.

Thank you for being a part of our community and participating with us.

Giving Tuesday 11/29

While Giving Tuesday isn't a unique event that we're holding, it's something that everyone should connect on. During the holiday season - and right after Black Friday & Cyber Monday - comes a day where everyone can focus on giving back, and letting their altruistic side shine.

Our organization is one that is powered by our community. We need help from everyone in our community to keep us going, and to push us forward - all for #MoreGreenBuildings!

Your generous contributions really can make an impact on our power to deliver on our mission. We are directing funds generated with #GivingTuesday to support our Student Scholarships and our green building advocacy efforts.

Please join us in this movement! You can upload a picture on Twitter and mention us @USGBCMA, and use the hashtags #MoreGreenBuildings, #USGBCMA, and #GivingTuesday.

To help us out, you can donate to us by going here, and join as an Emerald Member here.
