cess of making greener homes. We reorganized with a goal of reaching out to the general public to help promote the process of building Green into their homes. Throughout 2014 our committee will endeavor to educate the public and collabo- rate with other environmentally friendly groups where our synergies can best be utilized. We will seek out those design professionals and builders who see the ben- efits of Green building and LEED certification, and strive for them to join our group as members. We will not be constrained by location and look forward to bringing a greater awareness of LEED to the central and southern portions of our state.
