Chapter Staff

Executive Director

Grey Lee was hired October 2012 to manage the organization's daily activities and lead the Chapter in achieving its mission. If you are interested in volunteering, sponsoring the Chapter, have questions about partnerships, etc., please email Grey Lee at greylee@usgbcma.org.

Quote from Grey: 

“I have been working in the green real estate field for over ten years – as a broker, consultant, trainer and project manager. It is amazing how far the industry has come in this past decade. I'm excited to help facilitate the transition to a sustainable and equitable society into the next decade, leveraging the resources of the powerful community of green building pros in Massachusetts. Every green building that we put together, every sustainablity-oriented policy we enact, every environmental advocate we enable, means our future will be more prosperous, more healthful, and more vibrant for all.”

Grey's priorities for strengthening the Chapter are: build the membership base, increase partnerships with funders, and grow our ability to advocate for green buildings in Massachusetts. Read the press release here.

New: Green Schools Program Manager

Stephen Muzzy was hired in April 2012 to manage the Chapter's growing work in the greening of schools and campuses across Massachusetts. He will be focused on three projects: convening a green schools coalition to empower campus stakeholders to commit to green building policies, facilitating more LEED Study Groups to help more people embrace our building evaluation system, and to create a clearinghouse to link students and new professionals to green building projects in academic settings. We look forward to a lot of new synergies with many new communities through Steve's work!

Steve remarks: "My work the past 5 ½ years has focused on transforming institutions of higher learning into models of sustainability, not just by eliminating their operational greenhouse gas emissions but in how they plan, manage, invest, and most importantly prepare graduates to transition society to just, healthy and sustainable future. Because educational institutions are established and long-standing they have great incentive to invest in their built infrastructure. Beyond the standard benefits of reducing operational costs, improving the health of the occupants, and reducing environmental impact, educational institutions have the unique opportunity to use buildings as part of the educational experience. Allowing students the ability to monitor how their behavior affects the performance of the building – connecting behavior to impact is a powerful teaching tool. I am excited to witness these learning experiences and to expand green building awareness to individuals and institutions that do not believe green buildings are possible for them."
