MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
We are actively working to give our members the support they need in implementing and growing the market for sustainable buildings, technologies and services.
Benefits of a membership include:
- Free Admission to Monthly Education Meetings: Meet other green building professionals and interested homeowners, and exchange ideas, information, and resources. https://ecobuilding.org/monthly-education-sessions/
- Discounts on Admission to other Guild Events: Members get a discount on tickets to other Guild events, such as our Green Building Slam. https://northwestgreen.org/
- Green Business Listing: Professional and business members receive a search-engine optimized, link and logo enabled profile in our online green business directory. It’s the only regional, free-to-the-public, multi-media publication dedicated exclusively to advancing sustainable building professionals, techniques, practices, and products, where many consumers go to select contractors, designers, and other building professionals for project teams. https://ecobuilding.org/green-business-listings/
- Project Spotlights: Highlight your company’s green building practices and projects, by putting the spotlight on your latest accomplishment – a whole building or specific systems, materials, or other elements. Project spotlights also show up in your green business listing! https://ecobuilding.org/resources-2/project-spotlights/
- Partner to Grow your Business: Guild members have pioneered unique business relationships that can be described as “co-opetition” or cooperating to compete. Do what we do: collaborate to reach new customers and markets.
- Website Exposure: Our website averages 3,500 visitors a month! When you post Project Spotlights, Events, and Member Articles through our Member Center, you are contributing to an ever-expanding pool of online green building resources, sought by visitors near and far. The content you post will give you and your business a much stronger presence in the green building and green trades community.
- Community Events and Involvement: Members get involved at the local chapter level to participate in, sponsor, or help lead these terrific community events. Events Calendar
- Voice for Advocacy: The Guild is emerging as a leading voice of advocacy for transforming the built environment, for buildings as climate action, and for equitable access to healthy high-performance homes. Now is the time to develop solutions for healthy and efficient living opportunities for all Northwest residents.
- Professional & any level business memberships have access to the BRIC Network (Business Resiliency In Community). This professional only forum is a safe space to discuss tough topics related to cash-flow, employees, trade partners, work-flow, real estate market, biz and HELOC loans, supply chain, and any other concerns our business owners have. It’s a place to creatively problem solve, share resources, and brainstorm how each of us individually and collectively can move forward. https://platform.bric-network.com/
