USGBC’s policy of proportional voting enables every full-time employee of a USGBC member organization in good standing to vote. I want to thank everyone who has already voted; for those who haven’t, please take a moment to do so and join green building advocates representing our more than 12,000 members. USGBC’s By-Laws require a minimum of 10% of USGBC member organizations participate in the election, so while the election is open until Oct. 2, the best time to vote is now!

Thank you for participating in this significant opportunity to shape the future of USGBC and the broader green building movement.
