Event Details
Join the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in Chicago   for a local government leadership summit. We’ll discuss the region’s sustainability and green building successes, challenges and opportunities and work together to advance solutions and actionable next steps. You'll learn about USGBC’s program offerings targeted to local governments, including LEED, LEED for Cities, and a suite of education, policy and planning tools. The summit will be valuable for local government staff; elected officials; county, state and federal staff; NGOs; education and university partners; consultants and others who engage with local governments .   City and county planners, sustainability and resilience teams, building and facility managers, city/county managers, local board and commission members have found our past summits particularly helpful. This course is approved for 3 continuing education units for both GBCI and AIA. Participants with their LEED AP ND or LEED Green Associate will receive LEED-specific credit. The summit is $35 for USGBC members and $45 for non-members. Learn more and register here .
