Professional Membership
Become a World Green Building Organization (WGBO) Professional Member
Being acknowledged as a Professional Member of a Sustainability and Environment organization based upon one's education, years of knowledge, and experience in the Sustainability and Environment field is a goal for many to achieve. Not everyone has the college or university degree that is sometimes required to compete for an advanced level Sustainability and Environment Professionals Certification. Not everyone enjoys the environment of classroom training and potentially taking the computer-type exam, which doesn't always show one's true abilities in Sustainability and Environment management and/or practice.
There are many Sustainability and Environment Directors, Sustainability and Environment Coordinators, and Sustainability and Environment Specialists in the Sustainability and Environment arena who have many years of experience but lack the mathematical expertise to pass a specific Sustainability and Environment certification exam. However, by a submission of one's work/career credentials, résumé, professional references, Sustainability and Environment seminar certificates, Sustainability and Environment education, and several testimonies from peers showing his/her elite level, Sustainability and Environment practitioners and professionals can become a World Green Building Organization (WGBO) Professional Member upon verification and approval.
