Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) Committee

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB) Committee is to prepare and coalesce change agents in the fight for environmental, socio-economic, and racial equity, with a specific focus on the green building sector. Our initiatives include, but are not limited to, vendor resource lists, training programs, job fairs, internship programs, mentoring, green and affordable housing advocacy, funding green community projects, and sustainability consulting.

Please note - committee meetings are now $10 for non-members of USGBC-CA, but they’re still free if you’re a current member! Attend this meeting for free by joining us as a member here. 

USGBC-CA Members - you can RSVP for this meeting for free, and many more, in the Community Hub. Follow this link to RSVP and join the DEI&B Committee in the Hub!

We are an open community, learning and collaborating with each other. If you would like to make a 5-minute (max) presentation at a DEIB Committee meeting on a topic, organization, idea or yes, even yourself, we’d love to hear from you. All requests will be reviewed and forwarded to the committee co-chairs. (No sales pitches, please!) To get started, please fill out this survey.
