The U.S. Green Building Council Georgia State Chapter was formed in November 2008 to advance and promote sustainable and environmentally responsible planning, design, construction and operation of the Georgia's buildings, landscapes, cities and communities.

The purpose of the Georgia State Chapter is to:

• Provide regularly scheduled opportunities for members to exchange information with other persons having similar interests;
• Raise awareness of Green Building principles and practices among the design, construction and real estate communities as well as the general public;
• Provide forums for the exchange of ideas;
• Form partnerships with other local building-related and environmental organizations; and
• Promote membership in the U S Green Building Council.

What Does The Geogia State Chapter Do?

The Georgia State Chapter is the local voice of USGBC, and chapter members are key to raising awareness about green building. Chapter membership also provides excellent networking opportunities, the chance to serve on committees, and chapter member-rate discounts on chapter events.

The Georgia State Chapter is 501(c)3 non-profit organization with branches in Atlanta and Savannah. All branches of the Georgia State Chapter hold monthly meetings and/or monthly events for our members, in addition to holding LEED workshops and sometimes LEED User Groups.
