USGBC OHIO 2017 ANNUAL SUPPORT PROSPECTUS
Your invitation to lead our movement. The U.S. Green Building Council transforms buildings into more efficient and healthy places to live, learn, work, and play. In OHIO, a passionate group of volunteers, staff, and USGBC members are working everyday to advance our shared mission of green buildings for all within this generation. As a local community supporter, you will engage a diverse and powerful network of decision makers in the green building community and across an array of connected industries. You will build valuable relationships with business leaders, government officials, and non-profit executives committed to supporting healthy and efficient spaces. Your contributions propel USGBC’s work to improve schools and underserved communities—where our work counts most—through initiatives like Green Apple Day of Service and ADVANCE campaigns for social equity. Local community sponsors provide critical support to getting things done on the ground. In OHIO, that means hosting better events, deploying more products, growing our audience, and ultimately, transforming the market. Let’s lead the movement together.
