Letter from the Director
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It is a sense of shared mission and vision that empowers a leadership body to drive innovation. USGBC NJ was founded by a group of committed, mission driven professionals to create healthy, financially high performing and environmentally responsible buildings and communities. The original and succeeding boards of directors have passed on this legacy over the past 12 years. I am pleased to inform you that USGBC NJ is now accepting nominations for the 2015 Chapter Board of Directors. We welcome candidates that bring the membership diversity, leadership qualities, and attributes needed to assure strong and dynamic NJ Chapter leadership and governance to continue what our founders initiated.
