Palm Beach Branch's March 21 Program -- LEED for Existing Buildings ... Transforming the Built Environment

This timely program will address the EBOM rating system, how it works, what’s difficult, what’s the low-hanging fruit, and why EBOM is the perfect way to green your operations and improve occupant comfort, satisfaction and participation. 

Our speaker is one of the most popular in the region.  Missy Strauss is the President of TangibleGreen, a green building and business sustainability consulting firm, and the co-creator and host of the Our Greener World weekly radio show that airs every Thursday evening in the Palm Beach and Treasure Coast area.  Missy thoroughly enjoys consulting and teaching in areas related to sustainable business practices, CSR, supply-chain management, carbon and ecological footprinting, LEED for New Construction, and Existing Building Operations and Maintenance.  She has worked on many LEED projects here in South Florida, and is currently working on LEED EBOM certification projects of a school, an office building, and a 32-story high-rise residence.  

In addition to a top-shelf green-building education program, which is hosted this month by the City of Wellington, this month's program will feature:

  • Light refreshments.
  • Exceptional networking opportunities.
  • An outstanding venue.
  • Great camaraderie and fun.

Our Branch programs are FREE to USGBC members, and non-members are charged a nominal $10 admission fee to help cover meeting costs.  To join the USGBC South Florida Chapter, click here or you can join prior to the program.  Benefits of membership are plentiful, including free admission to Branch education programs and listing in our popular online membership directory -- click here to learn more about membership benefits.
