Program service accomplishments: usgbc membership/community (market transformation development) usgbc is powered by its members. Our members have shaped our organization into what it is today and are driving the entire green building community to go further faster than ever before. We're made up of companies large and small, local and multinational. We're educators and innovators, scientists and activists, nonprofit employees and policymakers, advocates and more. We bring diverse backgrounds and experiences but share one steadfast vision: that the green building community can help change our world for the better. (see schedule o)(continued from part iii) volunteers are usgbc's on-the-ground advocates, sharing ideas, networking and educating, and spreading information and education throughout their communities. The local communities also administer an active network of emerging professionals groups who are new to the green building industry and sustainability movement and who are provided with opportunities to hone their leadership and professional skills.

Education - to advance the green workforce, usgbc offers green building education courses and publications to help professionals along their green building career path.
