The GRU BEST symposium is our own home-grown event that will be focused on creating a sustainable community and using our own resources.  On July 14th-16th come learn from experts and professionals how "green, sustainable and environmentally reponsible" building methods can be energy efficient and affordable at the same time.  Click here to learn more about GRU BEST Symposium.

What is more, everyone who signs up for the pre-conference workshop will be donating $25 of their registration fee to the local US Green Building Council Heart of Florida Chapter's Barrels of Hope program.  In response to the tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti, sustainability-minded citizens have banded together to create “Barrels of Hope” – a Haiti relief project with an aim to provide rain barrels filled with supplies to begin rebuilding permanent structures for the earthquake victims in Haiti. Make a donation toward the Chapter’s efforts.
