Elevating the voices of women in our green building community is especially timely during Women’s History Month. Women have always been leaders in the sustainability movement—from Rachel Carson’s environmental advocacy in the 1960s to Greta Thunberg’s in the present day. Among the many women setting the course for an even more sustainable future are four professionals who recently shared their thoughts with USGBC on the future of green building, mentoring the next generation and projects that inspire them:
- Hannah Baghdadi, sustainability and environmental analyst, Corning Incorporated
- Katie Bergfeld, branch chief, building performance and enforcement, Department of Energy and Environment, Government of the District of Columbia
- Meredith Hendricks, vice president—sustainability, Entegrity
- Tonya Hicks, president and CEO, Power Solutions; president and founder, Women Do Everything LLC
