1. I’m a corporate member of CaGBC nationally, doesn’t that mean I’m a Chapter member too?
A: No. National and Chapter memberships are separate. There are a few distinctions: National is for corporations and Chapter membership is for individuals. Chapter membership is regionally focussed and made up of professionals working in the region. We offer a discount on Chapter memberships to all national members. Being a member of the Chapter gets you plugged into the largest network of green building professionals in the country and gives you notification and access to many Chapter events and programs throughout the year. You can learn more about Chapter membership here: Chapter Member Benefits

A: No, the membership fee is only valid until December 31st of the year it was purchased for 1 year membership, or December 31st of the following year for the 2 year membership.
