What is the difference between individual and organization membership?

Answer

Individuals join USGBC at the chapter level. Companies and organizations, meanwhile, join USGBC at the organization level.

Chapters provide local opportunities for active involvement and leadership through learning, networking and other professional development activities. Chapters also raise awareness of green building through outreach and advocacy in the community. Every chapter is its own separate 501c(3) nonprofit organization and has something unique to offer.

Joining USGBC on the organizational level allows companies to support green building and shape a national movement important to our country’s future. Member companies’ employees are eligible to participate on committees that develop and revise LEED ratings systems, plan advocacy efforts and organize the annual Greenbuild International Conference and Expo.
