GREEN
The Green Committee addresses the growing importance of environmental and sustainability issues. Monitoring and ultimately educating our members on products, practices, renovation and new construction techniques will keep our industry on the forefront of these new technologies.

In addition, the public will view our industry as informed and credible partners in the Green movement.
