Sustainable Building Citizens Advisory Committee
This is an informal committee (attendance not mandatory) comprising of building professionals, owner-builders, educators, government officials, students and anyone who has an interest in being involved with the Sustainable Building Program and our efforts to promote sustainable development locally. The intent of the meetings is to share resources and provide programmatic support. The meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month, usually at Willow Bend Environmental Center, but meetings can also be hosted at other locations around the community. Contact us if you are interested in learning more or would like to participate.
