Greenbuild's 2025 Host Committee
The Greenbuild Host Committee was excited to be a part of Greenbuild 2025! The experts on Greenbuild's Host Committee helped us highlight the best local community projects that exhibit resilient, low-carbon and healthy design and operations.
About the 2025 Host Committee
The Greenbuild Host Committee has a rich and enduring history spanning over 20 years, with thousands of volunteers and industry partners representing various areas of expertise in the green building sector. Volunteering for the host committee is a unique opportunity for local building professionals to gain behind-the-scenes insight into this international event and help make it a memorable celebration for our community.
The Host Committee brought together local sustainability experts from USGBC and USGBC California staff to shape community-focused engagement, programming of local tours, and the overall Greenbuild experience in Los Angeles. Their efforts showed how resilient design, low-carbon strategies, and healthy building practices take shape throughout the event.
