Message from Dennis Knight, SC Chapter Advocacy Chair:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Another year has passed and the USGBC SC Chapter Statewide Advocacy Committee is preparing for a very active legislative year promoting green buildings, energy efficiency and increasing the green jobs industry in our state.

The best way to do this effectively is to develop a strong, well connected, grassroots network of dedicated volunteers willing to talk to their elected officials about these issues and to take appropriate action when called upon.  It is the desire of the Chapter and me personally, that the Chapter be represented on this committee with a diverse cross section of the chapter membership and the citizens of our state.  The committee should represent and give voice to every social, economic and business sector.

To that end, I would like to solicit every member’s help and participation to create and grow this network.  To be clear, I am not asking you to attend monthly meetings, conference calls or face-to-face meetings.  We will do this from time-to-time and you are certainly welcome to come and participate, if you have the time.  However, if you are willing and able to participate, even in a small way, please provide me with as much of the following information as you feel comfortable sharing and let me know how much time and effort you feel like you can invest in the advocacy efforts of the Chapter.

Please take a minute to fill out the short questionnaire about your interest and depth and breadth of experience in our state’s governmental system, found here.

Please forward your response to me at: dknight@liollio.com.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.
Thank you in advance for considering this information I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dennis Knight
USGBC SC Statewide Advocacy Committee Chair
