USGBC Redwood Empire is a volunteer-based 501©(3) nonprofit organization. Our vision and mission is to improve the quality of life by transforming the design, composition, and operation of the places where we live, learn, work, and play within the short space of a generation. This mission means that our children and grandchildren will grow up in green and healthy homes.
Our region extends along the Northern California coast north of San Francisco to the Oregon border, and spans seven counties including Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte. We provide members the opportunity to be part of the conversation and interface with cutting-edge leaders and knowledgeable professionals who are dedicated to regenerating sustainable, healthy and thriving communities.
Our all-volunteer efforts are led by the Board of Directors who serve two-year terms and oversee policy and operations. Our events are made successful through the efforts of the Leadership Team. Learn more about USGBC Redwood Empire's history.
