Branch Volunteer Leadership and Opportunities

The USGBC South Florida Chapter is a volunteer-governed and a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization.   Our volunteer family is our lifeblood.  Our volunteers' contributions are priceless. They are smart and passionate, fun and tireless, giving and successful.  And they know that their actions have the potential to make a huge difference in our South Florida community -- now and in the future -- by helping educate, enlighten and empower our region to adopt an approach to building that is both ecologically and economically sustainable. 

And they have a heckuva lot of fun while making industry connections and new friends while educating members and friends!

If you are interested in volunteering at the Treasure Coast Branch, contact  Larry Jennings or Kyle Abney.

History of the
Treasure Coast Branch

Treasure Coast Branch
Past Chairs

The former Treasure Coast and Palm Beach Branch became an official Branch of the USGBC South Florida Chapter in October 2007. In the Fall of 2009, the Branch Governing Council of the TCPB Branch held meetings to sketch out a game plan to create a leadership group for a separate Treasure Coast Branch. The Chapter's Board of Directors granted provisional status to the Treasure Coast Branch in July 2010, and the Board granted the Treasure Coast group its Branch designation in August 2011.

Anyone who has served in the chief executive officer role of a business or volunteer organization appreciates the commitment of time that is put in to figuratively steer the ship safely into port. To that end, it's with thanks that we note the outstanding contributions of the past Chairs of the Treasure Coast Branch:

Niki Gozdz -- 2010-2011
David Phillips -- 2011-2012
