The Augusta Branch of the USGBC-GA Chapter is a diverse group of people interested in learning more about green building and sustainable design.  All are welcome to join our local Metro Augusta Green Scene, attend our meetings and training seminars or other Branch events. We do encourage you to seek membership with USGBC-GA to ensure you are notified of discounts and can take full advantage of membership benefits.

Our meetings provide a great opportunity for networking and fun. Our usual mix consists of architects, students, contractors, engineers, property owners, those in "green" professions and many others. The Branch Leadership Group (BLG) consists of USGBC-GA members who are leaders in sustainability in the Augusta area.
