Women in Green: Rising Collective
USGBC VA Presents: Women in Green
U.S. Green Building Council Virginia Women in Green event theme this year is Rising Collective – encompassing “the Great Advancement” and “the Great Resignation.” On Wednesday April 27th, we will be celebrating individual empowerment through collective opportunity—that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Even through these arduous times, we believe partnership and solidarity.
Since the pandemic, a significant portion of the U.S. workforce has struggled with maintaining normalcy both at work and at home. For many, this is asking the question, is this job the one where I can succeed and grow? How can I work with other women to move us all forward together?
This year, USGBC will celebrate individual empowerment through collective opportunities. Rising Collective reflects on the spirit of togetherness, of unity and the value of partnership during arduous times. At Women in Green, we’ll use our collective voice to help strengthen our work in an effort to rise farther, faster. USGBC is committed to doubling down on these concepts to help create a better, more equitable road ahead.
In its 11th year, Women in Green provides a space for leaders who are shifting the narrative on empowerment, access, and impact. We will gather female leaders for powerful discussions and networking that remind us that each of us is a person of great influence.
Featured Speakers:
- Phoebe Crisman, Professor of Architecture, University of Virginia
- Georgie Márquez, Owner, Andre Marquez Architects, Inc.

Moderator:
- Sharlyn Thacker, Chapter Administrator, Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)
