All spring board attendees are invited to participate in a special forum at Spring Board: the “National Green Building Program Update for EOs.” This meeting will take place on Thursday, June 7^th from 8:00 a.m. in the Monroe East Room, on the Concourse Level at the Capitol Hilton. A critical step in this process is hearing the concerns and needs of EOs that already have or are interested in launching a local green building program. Therefore, you and your green building program staff are invited to join your peers on Thursday, June 7^th to begin this discussion.
