While social equity has always been a part of USGBC’s work, Equity itself is now one of USGBC’s four pillars in our Second Generation values. Many of us are familiar with the health, environment and economic impacts our industry seeks to address. But now, more than ever, the DMV Community has a role in creating safe spaces to discuss issues of equity, equality and social justice in the context of our professional lives. Please join the USGBC NCR Emerging Professionals for our next virtual Career Campfire for an honest and informal discussion of the role of social equity in the DMV region’s green building industry.

Whether you’re interested in discussing systemic racism in the workplace, exploring topics like equity and equality, or simply catching up on what’s happening in the industry, join us as we discuss tangible ways to make change in our daily lives. We know the past few weeks have been a challenging and intense period in our lives, so take a deep breath, pull up a spot, and join us for a welcoming community discussion about equity within our industry. Feel free, but not obligated, to bring content you’ve found educational and would like to share.
