"Over the past five years at USGBC I have had the opportunity to be part of a diverse team to build one of the newest LEED products, LEED for Cities. It has been a great process to work with passionate and smart colleagues. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is working closely with our customers, local government leaders, and helping to create tools and platforms that advance the important work of urban sustainability." David Abell, Senior Manager
"The work USGBC does is critical when I consider my role in creating more equitable spaces (literally and figuratively) for future generations. I am grateful for the lessons learned, ideas exchanged, and memories made with each and every stakeholder I've had the pleasure of working with to deliver some pretty amazing products to markets around the globe in the past 5 years. It's been a great ride and I'm looking forward to the possibilities as I continue to support the organization's mission and vision." Jaclynn Cross, Project Manager

The culture is so positive, caring, and so many people go out of their way to help each other. I feel valued, heard, and my work means something when I am at USGBC. I am so proud of the company's vision in sustaining the health and wellness of people within communities and I cannot think of a better place to grow my career." Tala Soltanion, Director of Finance
"The built environment is a major contributing factor to climate change, it’s also something we have real solutions in hand to fix. That is exactly why I wanted to work in the USGBC marketing department. I feel a real sense of purpose being part of this mission to make the world more sustainable through green buildings. Being able to quantify our impact on climate change makes me proud of the work we do." Jake Rose, Email Marketing Manager
"It has been eye-opening to learn about the environmental impacts of the building sector. I believe that we should do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint, and every day I get to help businesses, organizations and governments talk about how adopting LEED standards is helping create more sustainable communities." Deisy Verdinez, PR & Communications Director
