approach to green building practices.
New

responsibilities. We gain civic support by including community
and environmental organizations in policy development.

American Institute of Architect’s Public Architect Award
for creating an institutional platform for policy development
that serves as a national model to encourage environmental stewardship
in quality design. In 2001, she was a Bosch fellow at the American
Academy in Berlin where she examined advanced green building practices
in Germany for incorporation into American green building policy.
