MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Member Seal 150xWe 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:

  • Professional & any level business memberships have access to the new BRIC Network (Business Resiliency In Community). This network was created in light of the COVID-19 public health crisis that has led to uncertain times for our design & building members as the Governor gave his initial Stay-at-Home order. This has greatly impacted our business members and highlighted our need to respond to our need to build resiliency in our businesses. 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 during challenging times. It’s a place to creatively problem solve, share resources and brainstorm how each of individually and collectively move forward.
  • Free Admission to Monthly Education Meetings:  Meet other green building professionals and interested homeowners, and exchange ideas, information, and resources. Visit our Events Calendar for a full listing of upcoming events in your area.
  • Discounts on Admission to other Guild Events:  Members get a 10-50% discount on registration to other Guild Events (varies), such as our Green Building Slams, annual Green Building Summit, NW Green Home Tour, ShiftBuilding Symposia and other events.
  • Community Events and Involvement:  Members get involved at the local chapter level to participate in, sponsor, or help lead these terrific community events.
  • 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.
  • Green Pages Listing:  Professional and higher members receive a search-engine optimized, link & logo enabled profile in our online Green Pages 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.
  • 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 of the project.  Project spotlights also show up in your green pages listing!
  • Website Exposure:  Our website averages 3,500 visitors a month! When you post Project SpotlightsEvents, 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.
