USGBCSF Miami-Dade and the Keys Branch Meeting: Session on LEED CMP

October 27, 2009
  
April 21, 2010 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm

The Miami-Dade and the Keys Branch of the USGBC South Florida Chapter has an enviable track record of hosting outstanding educational programs and tours. This month is certainly no exception! This month’s program is a special presentation on LEED CMP with guest speaker Kyle Abney.

Kyle Abney has over nine years of experience with sustainable design and construction. As the founding president of the nation’s first student chapter (University of Florida) of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a founding officer of one of the state’s first USGBC chapters, the founding chair of the state’s first branch of a USGBC chapter, the current President of the USGBC South Florida Chapter and a board member with the Florida Green Building Coalition, Kyle is a green building pioneer and leader in the state of Florida.

Our registration and meet-’n'-greet runs from 5:30-6:30pm.  From 6:30-7pm we conduct our general business meeting, and our educational presentation runs from 7-8pm.

Our Branch meetings are free to USGBC members, and non-members are charged a nominal $10 admission fee to help cover meeting costs.  To join the USGBC, click here or you can join at the meeting.

Top-shelf education, delectable edibles, a terrific venue, and great fun — what better way to spend a Wednesday evening!  Please come out and join in … and bring a friend!  The more you get involved with the Branch’s activities, the greater the wealth of contacts, resources and information — including particulars (e.g., workshops) tied to securing LEED accreditation — that are available to you.
