Education
SiGBA offers many types of learning environments for green practices: green building tours, Live Green ~ Build Green speaker series, educational workshops and much more. We inspire students through our outreach programs in the schools, as well as providing continuing education opportunities for both professionals and homeowners.
Networking
SiGBA creates a uniquely diverse environment for our members to connect with like minded community members
Business Promotion
SiGBA helps promote green businesses, providing our members a public platform through our website, our social and business events. In 2009, SiGBA launched "Keep the Sierra Green" business recognition program in partnership with the Town of Truckee, Nevada County, Placer County, Incline Village General Improvement District, the North Lake Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, and the Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce. This is a free program available to any businesses interested in reducing their environmental footprint.
How You Can Help
Your membership dues provide us with the resources to host our events, develop and improve our website, and to provide educational programming in the Sierra. We have a variety of membership and advertising options to help support SiGBA.
Our Mission
Educate and promote environmental building and business practices for a sustainable lifestyle in the Sierra Nevada communities.
We achieve this by:- Advocating resource efficiency in all phases of the design, construction and operation of homes and businesses
- Providing educational resources and support in the areas of site development, energy, building materials, air, water and waste
- Coordinating networking opportunities and community events
Our Vision is to lead the Tahoe, Truckee, and surrounding Sierra communities into a new sustainable era. Through proven green building methods, we can build, maintain and operate buildings without compromising the abilities of future generations to do the same.
