Sponsor or Host a Webinar
 

The WGBA is committed to helping you succeed in your efforts to help Wisconsin's built environment become more sustainable. To that end, the WGBA now offers a much larger selection of USGBC Webinar courses for our members.  And this is a convenient way for LEED APs and Green Associates to earn CEUs!
 

 You may sign up personally to take a webinar, or host a webinar at your company. The WGBA will happily schedule this, and come to you to provide the implementation of the service.
