SBA alumni project showcase

SBA Alumni Showcase and Informational Session

Presenters:

Kathleen O'Brien, NaSBAP Director

Kim Hughes, NaSBAP Board Member

Andrea Lewis, NaSBAP Assistant Program Director

Wrap up your Living Futures experience with a lively and informative ‘edu-tainment’ session featuring alumni from the Sustainable Building Advisor (SBA) Course, and representatives from the National Sustainable Building Advisor Program (NaSBAP).

SBA alumni from the Portland, Seattle, and Bend classes will showcase their final team projects – presented in fun and imaginative ways that offer a fresh new take on case study presentation. You’ll also learn about the SBA Course, a nine-month certificate course designed for working professionals interested in designing, building, and maintaining sustainable buildings.

If Living Future has inspired or further stoked your enthusiasm for green building and you are looking for ways to stand out among within your industry, this session about SBA course opportunities is the perfect conference send-off! This event is open to Living Future conference attendees and the general public – so invite your friends to join!
