Our Mission. The USGBC-OC Chapter’s mission is to engage all Green Building stakeholders to be the conduit of change for a more sustainable Orange County through innovative communication, education, resources and advocacy. We envision Orange County to be a vibrant place to live, learn, work and play. USGBC-OC promotes the integration of the built and natural environments to foster sustainable, healthy, and prosperous communities.

Chapter Membership Sets You Apart. Join the USGBC–Orange County Chapter and see how chapter membership can give you a competitive edge and connect you to a world of resources you can’t find anywhere else. Any individual from a USGBC member company or organization is encouraged to join the USGBC–Orange County Chapter. Your membership in the chapter provides an unparalleled opportunity to influence change and help shape the future of green building in the Orange County area.

It Pays to Become a Member. As a USGBC–Orange County Chapter member, you will receive discounts for our networking and educational events. Any interested party is welcome to attend USGBC-OC events.

The People You Will Meet. As a chapter member, you’ll make invaluable contacts, share information and best practices, and build relationships with leaders and professionals representing a broad spectrum of industries. Our chapter members – the people who design, construct, manage, finance, insure, and occupy buildings – share a common focus: they are committed to transforming the built environment toward one that is profitable, healthy, and environmentally responsible.

Advocacy. As a chapter member, you will have the opportunity to shape the local agenda through chapter and committee leadership. USGBC-Orange County Chapter members play a vital role in promoting green policy initiatives affecting issues like energy conservation, air quality, and livable communities – hot topics among federal, state and local governments. By getting the word out and building relationships to promote green building, your chapter membership is even more valuable.

Visibility. Your chapter membership will give you recognition as a leader in supporting a better built environment.
