Have you been out of undergraduate or graduate school for five years or less? Are you interested in meeting more people like yourself in the green building industry with whom you can network and grow? If so, look no further!
If you are interested in being a founding member of GBA’s Emerging Green Professionals network, please contact Mike Embrescia. In 2010, GBA will work to establish a local network of emerging green building professionals with fun, interactive events and happy hours.
GBA is also looking for groups of Emerging Green Professionals to participate in USGBC’s Natural Talent Design Competition (see below), which will offer a CASH prize--and the potential to actually see your LEED Platinum home design constructed in New Orleans!
USGBC Natural Talent Design Competition
The 2010 U.S. Green Building Council Natural Talent Design Competition will focus on the rebuilding effort in New Orleans, Louisiana. Competitors are asked to submit designs for a LEED for Homes Platinum project that is affordably priced and functional for elderly occupants. Student and Emerging Green Professionals will compete separately, and up to four national designs will be selected from local competition finalists to be showcased at Greenbuild 2010 AND constructed in New Orleans’ Broadmoor neighborhood in partnership with Salvation Army’s EnviRenew Initiative.
GBA will be a host chapter for this competition and is seeking local groups to enter and be judged by a GBA-led Selection Committee, which will choose Student and Emerging Green Professional competition winners for elevation to USGBC’s national competition. Local winners will receive a CASH prize, the amount of which will be determined next month.
Full details are available online. Registrations must be made via Open Architecture and full project designs (which include building plans, elevations, sections, etc.) must be submitted by May 31, 2010.
The following parties should e-mail Aurora Sharrard for more information:
• Interested individual emerging professionals looking for a team to work with
• Interested groups of emerging professionals
• Interested groups of undergraduate and/or graduate students
• Faculty interested in having their students participate in the competition as part of a class project
