We have completed our 3-year strategic plan and are happy to share it with the community. Our goal is to further green building to more and more people in western North Carolina. Help us achieve our goal.

To find out what the WNCGBC accomplished in 2008 see our Annual Meeting presentation.

The WNCGBC began as a casual gathering of five building professionals over food and drink in the spring of 2000. A common desire to educate others on the health and environmental impacts of design and construction led to the official formation of the council.

In 2001, the WNCGBC organized, along with then Asheville mayor Leni Sitnick, a Mayor's Roundtable presentation on residential green building programs. Over the next several years, the council continued to grow, and organized dozens of educational events, tours, publications and workshops.
