OTHER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT CASCADIA REGION GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL

Cascadia’s Board

Board seats are allocated specifically across the three states and one province that make up Cascadia.  A total of 6 seats are allocated to each Oregon, Washington and British Columbia and 2 seats are allocated to Alaska.  To promote representation on the Board from all geographic regions and in both large and small markets, one seat from each of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.  Only Members from these markets (based on place of employment) may stand for election to these three seats, although all Members may vote for these candidates.  The identification of small and emerging markets for each state/province is also critical to representation. Please see the Board of Directors page for the current list of Board members and watch the newsletter for Board elections.
