Every November, the JRGBC honors organizations and their leaders for outstanding contributions to green building in Virginia. In conjunction with the Awards Luncheon, the JRGBC hosts a large number of displays to showcase products, services and companies that participate in green building. These events have something for everyone, from the industry experts on sustainable building and design to first timers seeking education and information on going green.

JRGBC Annual Green Building
Leadership Awards 2008

The JRGBC’s 2008 Green Leadership Awards Luncheon was a grand success which included a gripping speech by keynote speaker Dr. Edward Ayers, the President of the University of Richmond, and an honoring of many of JRGBC’s founding members rolling off its Board. This year’s location, the Virginia Housing Center, provided expanded display space and extended hours to ensure greater access to a larger audience of industry leaders as well as the general public.

The JRGBC Board wishes to thank everyone for attending and congratulates the following winners in the four Green Building Leadership categories. The winners were selected from nominations and based on the organization’s / individual’s commitment to the JRGBC’s principles of sustainable and environmentally conscious building.
