Boulder Green Building Guild

Leave it to Boulder to start its own green building association, The
Boulder Green Building Guild… Better known as BGBG. BGBG is a
membership based group of building professionals who care about the
environment and «empower people to build healthy, resource-​efficient
communities.» That’s me… Well, I kind of make people feel guilty, but
then after they start they begin to really enjoy the whole green thing
and continue on their own… Anyway…
Boulder loves staying and supporting anything local, so joining BGBG
makes it easier to network and gain new small business accounts… a
great way to get the wheels turning on a new project or aspiration.
There are all sorts of businesses who are members and active… examples include: solar distributors, straw bale architects, builders,
electricians, engineers, Inspectors, lawyers, lenders, realtors,
interior and landscape designers, marketers, students, publishers,
government employees, and artists among others.
Really, no matter what your motive is, joining BGBG will offer the
opportunity to go to monthly educational programs such as, «Authentic
Leadership for Social Entrepreneurs: Creating Successful Nonprofits
and Social Enterprises,» going on tours, meeting new friends and
potential colleagues, and best of all, socializing and networking…
Bring in the Green… Literally!
* Star one is for being an association that supports green building,
that’s awesome
** Star two is for having great staff and non-​pushy committee heads
(They don’t make you feel guilty if you can’t volunteer! Love it!)
*** Mister hungry star three is for the brown bag educational
programs… Which offer pizza, drinks, and an hour of socializing and
learning
**** Presenter star four is for the BGBG Speaker’s Bureau
***** Our final star is for the informative journal and publications…
Which is just another way to get the word out, get involved, and get
noticed
