Letter from the Director
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
As we ease into 2014’s holiday season, it is also a season of celebration for USGBC NJ’s Emerald Award winners who have demonstrated exemplary best practices in sustainability and green building. This year our 12th Annual Emerald Award Gala is taking place on Friday, November 7th at Montclair State University Hall, a LEED Certified location. This event promises to be an especially celebratory Gala, taking place on a Friday night enhanced by a nationally renowned band: the Infernos. This event also enjoys the reputation of being one of the best networking events in NJ. I am truly inspired by the projects we are honoring. These award recipients are an example of the best in sustainability and green design that New Jersey has to offer. They span a wide range of topics and boast some impressive achievements:
