USGBC National Capital Region is pleased to announce the finalists for our 2023 Community Leadership Awards. These prestigious awards celebrate excellence from the projects, people, and partners that are working to create better buildings and better lives for all in their local communities.
Award recipients will be announced at the 22nd annual A Midsummer Night's Green, which will be hosted on July 27 at the Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater in Washington, D.C. One of the most highly-anticipated social events of the D.C. region green building community, A Midsummer Night's Green convenes 300+ industry leaders and sustainability advocates to celebrate the accomplishments of those working to create a greener, healthier future for all in the DMV.
The evening will include an awards ceremony followed by a networking reception with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Attendees will have the opportunity to vote to determine the winner of our People's Choice Award. Proceeds from this event support USGBC's local education, advocacy, and outreach efforts.
We hope you can join us as we recognize and honor our winners and all our finalists. Learn more and register for the event here.
