When your company sponsors the U.S. Green Building Council Colorado GREEN SCHOOLS SUMMIT, you make a public commitment to supporting the transformation of K-12 learning environments throughout Colorado. Last year's summit reached over 30 school districts, 300 attendees, and allowed any school employee, teacher, student and administrator to attend for free. Please help us continue the mission to "Green Colorado Schools within a generation."
