Monthly Programs Committee

The Monthly Programs Committee is a group of dedicated volunteers who assist Urban Green Council in the planning and implementation of our public programs and events, including panel discussions, webinars, case studies and tours. 

The committee represents a diverse mix of industry professionals who bring a broad range of experience and subject matter expertise to the program planning process.

Responsibilities include attending and actively participating in four committee meetings annually, in which the committee members propose new topics and programs and act as a sounding board for those proposed by Urban Green staff.
