Host Committee duties

The host committee is composed of USGBC members and partners who are engaged in the local market where Greenbuild is being held. Primary functions include

• Outreach to drive attendance at Greenbuild.
• Development of partnerships to promote Greenbuild to diverse audiences.
• Development and management of local green building tours to run in conjunction with the Greenbuild conference.
• Volunteer recruitment and coordination to support the overall greening of the event.
• The Legacy Project submission process, selection and administration.
• Administrative assistance as related to the above tasks and functions.

The Host Committee will be led by two co-chairs, who are the primary leaders of our Greenbuild efforts, supported by staff from USGBC. The Host Committee co-chairs will help to plot our overall vision and will work with subcommittees to set and ensure the meeting of goals and timelines. This committee will also be populated by the chair of each subcommittee and USGBC regional staff.

Committee benefits

Volunteering for the Host Committee is a unique opportunity for local professionals to go behind the scenes of this international event and make it a memorable celebration for our community. Committee work offers opportunities to grow personally and professionally, to network with the region's sustainability leaders, and to better the global green economy.

Committee chairs will be recognized and receive complimentary conference registrations to Greenbuild 2025. Subcommittee members will have an opportunity to attend the conference at a discounted rate.

Committee expectations

The host committee and subcommittee members are expected to contribute 5-15 hours per month from February through November. Committee chairs and vice chairs are expected to spend up to 20 hours per month on their work. Most subcommittees will meet at least monthly; however, actual timelines will be determined by the committee chair and the tasks that need to be accomplished.

Subcommittees

The Host Committee is divided into subcommittees to focus on the development and execution of specific components of the committee's charge. Each subcommittee will be led by a chair and vice chair and made up of around 5-10 additional volunteer committee members. Subcommittees focus on partnerships, Greenbuild tours, sustainability and the Legacy Project. The Host Committee will also provide input to the Greenbuild Program Working Group.

Legacy Project Subcommittee

This subcommittee's objective is to identify and execute a legacy project as a means of service, education and gratitude to the local community for hosting Greenbuild; there is an option to fundraise additional dollars for the project beyond seed money provided by Informa and USGBC. The Legacy Project Subcommittee also helps recruit applicants for the Greenbuild scholarship and volunteer opportunities.

Tours Subcommittee

This subcommittee's objective is to provide Greenbuild attendees with innovative and educational green building tours. Help identify and select green building tour sites and circuits, to plan and coordinate the tour program. Execute the green building tour program on-site, in coordination with USGBC.

Sustainability Subcommittee

This subcommittee's objective is to improve the overall greening of the event by finding regional students and emerging professionals who will volunteer to support the overall Greenbuild sustainability program. Members of the subcommittee will provide local insights relating to sustainability to Greenbuild management. This subcommittee does outreach through higher education, professional organizations and other networks to recruit volunteers.

The Greenbuild 2025 Volunteer Expression of Interest form is now open.
