“I’m really proud of the fact that I have a tribe of people like you and everyone who’s listening on the call, whom I can rely on and exchange very candid notes and say ‘Hey, challenge here. What did you do in a similar situation?’ For any green building professional having that network, of a very transparent conversation, is key. I’m very glad to have that peer group.”
