Membership

The continued participation and support of VGBN members is critical to our Network’s success. Being a member of VGBN provides more opportunities to be aware, involved, and supportive of green building in Vermont. We encourage our members to be involved in many of our educational and advocacy initiatives or to attend any of our board or committee meetings. Your membership shows a commitment to green building in Vermont, which benefits everyone.

Any Individual (but not an organization) may be a member of the Vermont Green Building Network. There are three levels of membership:

Free – As the mission of our network is networking, subscription to the two VGBN email lists is free.

Student – Full time students receive the same membership benefits as Individuals

Individual – An individual membership also includes the following:
>> an optional listing in our Online Membership Directory,

>> the ability to make multiple listings in the VGBN Green Pages,

>> a free copy of our CD ”Green Building in Vermont”

>> discounts on VGBN sponsored events (Note that, at this time, this does NOT include USGBC events or workshops which require registration at through the USGBC web site),

>> the opportunity to serve on one of VGBN’s committees to promote, develop, network, advocate, or educate, about green building in Vermont,

>> in the near future, a membership in Building for Social Responsibility a group of Vermont building professionals and others who are concerned with the impact of their work on their communities and society.
VGBN is a chapter of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and acts as the local representation of USGBC. This allows the entire Network to benefit from the brand and credibility of USGBC and help VGBN and USGBC work toward our common goals. However, membership in VGBN does not include membership in USGBC.

Current membership dues are listed on our become a member page and are for one calendar year.
