NORTH TEXAS EMERGING PROFESSIONALS

The USGBC North Texas Emerging Professionals bolsters the careers of young professionals from a range of disciplines through networking opportunities and hands-on leadership experience. The program equips participants with the tools they need to succeed as leaders of their Chapters, organizations, communities, and the sustainability movement. It offers a fresh, innovative perspective to USGBC Chapters and secures the future of green building by maintaining a pipeline of passionate, competent leaders.

The program is geared toward individuals out of school and under 30, but does not exclude anyone who may be interested. The USGBC North Texas Emerging Professionals seek to engage all those who are interested in learning about and advocating for sustainability and healthy building practices.
