COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION:
MUNICIPAL GREEN BUILDING CONFERENCE AND EXPO (MGBCE)
Since its inception in 2000, the annual Municipal Green Building Conference and Expo (MGBCE) has become a very important gathering of leading sustainability and green building advocates within both the public and private sectors in southern California. Hosted by the Southern California Gas Company at the ERC building in Downey, this annual Spring conference and trade show provides training, education and outreach to inform local government agencies, building industry professionals and the general public about the principles, practices and products associated with green building.
For more information, contact the MGBCE Chair, David Stevens.
