and enables green buildings and communities. Established in 1994, the U.S.

In 2001, Arizona was the third chapter to join USGBC which now consists of
77 chapters nationwide.  The Chapter is comprised of strategic branches that
support their local communities and the challenges unique and as diverse as
the landscape of Arizona itself.

Our leadership team consists of the Board of Directors who oversee Chapter
policy, the Branch Governing Councils who are responsible for general
operating policies and procedures for their respective branches
with Committees that contribute to the development and operation of the
chapter's activities and mission.

With an expansion map anticipating ten branches as our membership grows,
today the Central Branch primarily covers Maricopa and Pinal counties,
making it the largest of the three branches that comprise the State
Chapter.  The Sonoran Branch, based out of Tucson, covers Pima and Santa
Cruz counties; while the Northern Branch, based in Flagstaff, covers
Coconino County and its surrounding communities.
