Sustainable Building Citizen Advisory Committee

This is an informal committee (attendance not mandatory) comprised 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 Committee meetings is to share resources and provide programmatic support. Meetings are usually be held at Willow Bend Environmental Education Center, however, meetings can also be hosted at other locations around the community. Due to the pandemic, meetings may be held on Zoom.

We are currently developing a planning session for the Citizen Advisory Committee regarding County Sustainability and the Coconino County Sustainable Building Program for January 2023. 

Please contact us if you are interested in learning more or would like to participate!
