From the venue to the educational topics, this inaugural USGBC Arizona Chapter annual event invited green building supporters from all over the region to share in the message of “Sustainability Rising” – advancing the mission of green building practices that will support our economy and our environment locally and globally. Celebrating Arizona’s Centennial, the theme brings people together to share visions and solutions to sustain communities where we learn, work, play and live while achieving a greater understanding of environmental and economic trends for the next hundred years.
