JRGBC 2010 Advocacy Position Paper
The 2010 JRGBC Advocacy Position Paper was created by the JRGBC in coordination with the other Chapters in Virginia: National Capital Region, The Hampton Roads Green Building Council and the USGBC-Southwest Virginia Chapter. Together, these Chapters form the Virginia Chapters of the USGBC Legislative Coalition.
These statements will be used in our efforts with the General Assembly in the 2010 Session.

Action Center
Please take a moment to visit our Political Action Center. This new tool will allow us to keep you informed about bills at the State level that affect the green building community in Virginia.The Action Center makes it easy for you to contact your legislator to weigh in on a particular bill and have a say in your government.
You can go to the Action Center and see all six bills listed on the right and sign in to send a letter or email to your legislator based on your zip code. We would also urge you to call your legislator directly or stop by to visit them. If you don’t know who your Delegate or Senator is, you can find it in the Action Center after you sign in or by clicking HERE and then clicking on the link “Who’s My Legislator?” Also, see documents on LEED and the USGBC and JRGBC in the Archives/Library to help prepare your correspondence or visit to your legislator.
Please get involved and let your legislators know you care about high performance buildings! Please contact the JRGBC if you have any questions about using the Action Center or about the bills listed: legislation@jrgbc.org.
