This program will explore how architects\, engineers\, contractors and marketing professionals effectively make the case for green building in real-world project conversations. \nHighlighting perspectives from across the building industry\, panelists will share how sustainability communication happens in practice: when key conversations occur\, how messaging adapts for different client and project types\, and which strategies help move conversations beyond “that sounds expensive” toward long-term value\, resilience\, health\, and performance. The discussion will also examine how firms position their sustainability expertise through branding\, storytelling\, project experience\, and organizational identity. Attendees will gain practical insights into what strategies communicate the business\, environmental\, and human benefits of green building more effectively\, and help to build client trust\, strengthen collaboration\, and advance more sustainable outcomes across the industry. \nModeratorNora Knox\, Co-Founder\, Bold Branch Collective \nPanelistsMatt Cale\, National Program Manager\, Farnsworth Group IncDrew Hustedde\, Senior Architect I & Sustainability Lead\, BSA LifeStructuresMary Peterein\, Preconstruction Director\, McCarthy Building CompaniesAbigail Sirevaag\, Vendor Program Manager\, Branch Real Estate\, Edward Jones \nWHEREMcCarthy Building Companies12851 Manchester Rd | St. Louis\, MO 63131 \nWHENTuesday\, June 9 – 5:30 – 7:30 pm \nADMISSIONFree – Members of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council and full time students.$25.00 – Non-MembersNot a member?

Our invited presenters will share stories about the successes and realities of operating and occupying these buildings after construction. How are these projects performing 10 to 15 years later – both operationally and experientially – compared to original sustainability or LEED targets and goals? Presenters will explore lessons learned in the transition from construction to owner takeover and the reality of keeping efficiency and conservation methods in place during real use\, drawing from both lived experience and performance data\, where available. \n Featured Projects + Presenters: \n\nCrossroads College Prep | Howard Granok\, Science Department Chair\n2008 LEED Platinum Development in JeffVanderLou | Josh Smith\, Director of Construction\, Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis\n@4240 Duncan at Cortex | Ben Daugherty\, Operations and Sustainability Project Manager\, Cortex Innovation District\nJanuary Hall at Washington University | James Roseberry\, Director of Sustainability\, Trivers + Jim Kappeler\, Senior Principal\, IMEG\nNational Great Rivers Research and Education Center | Jessica Mohlman\, Director of Environmental Education\n\nREGISTER NOW!  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Crossroads College Prep\, Presented by Howard Granok\, Science Department Chair \nCrossroads is a middle and high school located in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood.
