Letter from the Director

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Each year USGBC NJ recognizes and presents Gala Awards to companies and in- dividuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in green building and sustainability. The winners of this year’s distinguished awards will be recognized at our 14th Annual Awards Gala: “Building a Future of Sustainability” on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. In addition to the opportunity to recognize NJ’s worthiest projects, the Awards Gala is a celebration of success, where like-minded professionals have the opportunity to convene. The Gala’s proceeds also serve to provide funding for educational pro- grams for inner city students, and to fund schools in underserved communities in establishing their short and long term sustainability master plans.
