Advocacy Committee
Due to the overwhelmingly large amount of green building legislation written in 2008 (over 500 bills submitted for consideration in Washington alone), it is clear that the USGBC and its local Chapters need to play a role in both framing and supporting the cause for sustainable development.
The role of the Advocacy Committee is to coordinate and inform statewide advocates of current USGBC supported legislation and products, and to aid in the strengthening of local green building knowledge and the support and implementation of green building practices throughout the Commonwealth.
In addition to these activities, the Advocacy Committee works as needed with the National USGBC Advocacy Committee to support national initiatives.
