This is a very important time for the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED and the thousands of volunteers around the world who have contributed to the LEED green building certification program. LEED v4, the newest update to the rating system, will be up for ballot this June.
The U.S. Green Building Council call is now open for self-nominations of qualified applicants to serve as members of LEED Committees. These volunteers play a critical role in developing and maintaining the LEED rating system.
The following committees are seeking new members:
To USGBC members and LEED users:
The amazing volunteers on all our LEED committees have been working extremely hard for the past 3+ years to get LEED 2012 ready for launch. The continuous evolution of LEED is made possible through hard work, and these committed technical experts undertake this work because they have a passion for USGBC’s commitment to market transformation and they see LEED as the best tool to help us get there. We are all deeply in their debt.

As we at USGBC wind down 2011 – and gear up for a promising 2012 I am pleased to have the opportunity to reflect on what an incredible year it’s been for green schools. With the help of our seemingly tireless volunteer and chapter network, the Center for Green Schools at USGBC has had a first year that has exceeded many expectations. Even heading into a time of year when things typically seem to slow down, USGBC’s volunteers continue to be hard at work on behalf of green schools.
