We are seeking multiple board members for the three-year term of 2020-2023. Nominees may be self-nominated or nominated by another USGBC-LA member. Nominees must be current USGBC-LA members (please confirm membership status here).

- Diversity of personal perspective and demonstrated passion in the green building movement and sustainability.
