The United States Green Building Council - North Dakota Chapter (USGBC-ND) is holding the Green Focus ND Annual Meeting on September 23, 2014 at Red River High School in Grand Forks, ND. Each year USGBC-ND has a theme of focus for the event. This year we are excited to announce that the Green Focus is Green Schools.
“Where We Learn Matters" GREEN FOCUS ND - Green Schools 2014 will give you ideas and strategies to apply to your community and schools in order to take steps toward sustainable and healthy places to live, learn, work, and play. High performance schools result in high-performing students, and green schools go far beyond bricks and mortar. We see an opportunity to educate a new generation of leaders – sustainability natives – capable of driving global market transformation.
We invite teachers, school administrators, city leaders, planners, engineers, architects, designers, educators, students as well as residents and concerned citizens to join us.
