Learn About New Green Building Code at Summit


Community colleges such as West Hills in Lemoore, Firebaugh and Coalinga are on the front lines of the efforts to "green" America's workforce.

Toward that end comes the Green California Community College Summit Oct. 12 and 13 in Pasadena.

Speakers include Doug Henton, chairman and chief executive of Collaborative Economics, who will discuss green job development in California, and Alec Loorz, the teenage founder of Kids Vs. Global Warming.

Professionals in career technical education, workforce investment boards and economic development are encouraged to attend.
Participants will learn about CALGreen, the state's new green-building code that is effective in January 2011.

The event is at the Pasadena Convention Center. Information: Cindy Dangberg, summit director, 626-577-5700, cdangberg [at] green-technology [dot] org.

what we do
in 2008, u.s. green building council awarded the central california region full chapter status allowing us to promote a mission to transform the way buildings an communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.

what we believe
we believe that individuals coming together as a group, with a common purpose, can make a difference. we believe that the future of the valley, state, nation, and world will be better for our efforts. we believe that we can affect change, and that we do succeed because of the commitment of our members.
