Members and Supporters Benefits

Members/Supporters continually look for ways to acknowledge their company's involvement in the green building space. Affiliation as a Member/Supporter of the GBI is an opportunity to get a company's logo in front of 7,000 website viewers a month from builders, owners and others wanting to understand trends and developments in this very important space.

Members/Supporters may want to sponsor opportunities to educate builders and owners about best practices, participate in posting materials in the green resource library or offer interested parties the state building incentive site. Members of the GBI have these opportunities and more on the GBI website.

Members/Supporters may want to add their expertise in helping with the governance and oversight of the Green Building Initiative. This valuable opportunity is important both to the GBI who is looking for strong leaders to help shape the organization and to industry professionals who want their voices to be heard.

Those interested primarily in the benefits of utilizing the Green Globes tools, training, and personnel certification products to meet their sustainability goals may join the GBI as a Client/User Supporter at the $10,000 level.  This entitles them to credits toward selected Green Globes products and services plus having their company referenced and listed on the supporter page.
