Membership Committee Stay Focused on Providing Value to Members It’s tempting; and most people are in on the secret. If things aren’t going well, simply start out each sentence with: “Due to the economy…,” and you can make just about any excuse fly. And yet while there’s no denying the challenges that the recession presents, Benjamin Franklin’s advice is pertinent: “Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and God gives abundantly to industry.

The tumultuous economy provides a viable opportunity for communities to migrate towards sustainable practices as rising construction and energy costs impact our buildings and structures. The largest committee in the chapter with its 60 plus members signifies a steady shift in people’s awareness towards our impacts on the planet and a growing interest in the green building movement. In addition, our committee offers resources to our membership in sustainable development related issues.
