"A COLDLY RATIONALIST INDIVIDUALIST CAN DENY THAT HE HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO MAKE SACRIFICES FOR THE FUTURE

— GARRETT HARDIN

TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP:

GOOD RULE OF THUMB:

INDIVIDUALS join Chapters.  (chapter member)

COMPANIES join National USGBC (national member company)

 

Each membership has separate fees and benefits. There is no reciprocity involved – if a person is a chapter member, they aren’t automatically a national member. If a person works for a national member company, they aren’t automatically a chapter member. However, if a person works for a national member company and decides to join a local chapter, they have more rights within the chapter (they can vote and they can serve on the board).

 

NATIONAL USGBC MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS FOR COMPANIES:

LINK TO BENEFITS WEBPAGE.

The benefits listed (discounts on LEED AP exams, discounts on Greenbuild, discounts on Reference Guides) are only for employees that work for a National USGBC member company. Chapter benefits are completely different – an individual that joins a chapter who doesn’t work for a USGBC member company will not enjoy any of those benefits.
