Breakouts highlight some of Wisconsin's best LEED projects



You may have heard about ESI's Gateway West, Holy Wisdom Monastery, Lawrence University's Warch Center, The Mead Wildlife Center, and the Kerry Centre in Beloit.

These high-scoring LEED projects are helping to grow Wisconsin's reputation as a leader in green building.  During the afternoon breakout sessions, you'll have a chance to get a great look at the design elements, approach to construction, funding and partnerships that make these projects exceptional.  AND, these sessions qualify for continuing education for GBCI and AIA.

Local Food Spotlight

In an effort to make our event more sustainable, WGBA has committed to sourcing all ingredients for the meals, snacks, and the kick off event from local producers. We aim to support the local economy and Wisconsin farmers.  Each week, we'll feature an item from our menu, along with information on the source.

Tony and Sue Renger of Willow Creek Farm care about eating local, sustainable and humanely produced food. They are fourth generation hog farmers working 80 acres of land near Baraboo, WI. The Rengers' hogs live comfortable and natural lives, free to roam acres of green pastures, filled with natural grasses with no genetically modified plants.  The hogs are fed corn, soybeans and other grasses grown on their farm with no antibiotics or animal by-products.  The Rengers won Reserve Champion for their bacon at the 2010 Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors convention.
