cannot achieve our goals without the support of our Chapter member
volunteers. In the spirit of National Volunteer Appreciate Month the staff
of the Chapter would like to thank each and every one of our member
volunteers. There are over 100 Chapter members volunteering to
support the Chapter's mission and vision by dedicating their time and
talents to to our many Committees and Branches If you have member
volunteer that deserves a special shout out, send a note to Joan Martin,
Manager of Membership and Outreach in the Chapter office to be

Special thanks to Chapter member volunteer, Jean Alexis for donating
his time to create the exhibitor floorplan for the upcoming GREENER BY
DESIGN Conference and Expo. The planning committee was in need of
a quick AutoCad drawing to proceed with the exhibitor floor and while
studying for finals, Jean donated his time to help the GREENER BY
DESIGN committee stay on target! Thanks Jean!
