Dear {Contact_First_Name} {Contact_Last_Name},
Greetings USGBC members and supporters,
Please
take a few minutes to review the below communications from some of our
partners. Also, our chapter has recently acquired a small office space
and is in need of some basic office furniture. If you have a filing
cabinet, an energy efficient computer monitor, and/or some shelves
(approximate dimensions: 5' wide by 1' deep) that you'd be willing to
donate to a local nonprofit, please contact us.
Thank you,
USGBC Heart of Florida Chapter

industry professionals expand their knowledge base and/or find gainful
employment. The course is geared towards architects, contractors,
project managers and skilled laborers.
This course focuses on
providing building professionals the fundamentals and real world
examples of green building techniques, training them on emerging
products and technologies, and preparing those individuals to take
advantage of green opportunities in the construction field.
The
course includes case studies, exercises, field trips and hands‐on
demonstrations to equip participants to successfully apply these
practices in the field.
