The future of green building is shaped by USGBC members who join committees -- the core of the consensus-based process that develops LEED, educational offering, Greenbuild and other programs. 

USGBC’s national members are organizations, corporations and institutions across the globe. Any organization that shares our goal of a more sustainable built environment should join the USGBC community. Our member organizations come from every industry – from big companies and small businesses to nonprofits and governments – and the benefits of membership extend to all full-time employees. They are part of a vibrant and diverse community which offers unlimited new opportunities for connecting individuals and businesses with the people, information and ideas they need to be part of the rapidly growing green building industry.

USGBC membership: Four Simple Levels

Every organization has different needs and we want to make membership work for you. USGBC now offers a membership structure with just four dues levels: Organizational, Silver, Gold and Platinum. These new dues packages make things simple, allowing you to choose the membership level and price point best suited to your organization's needs. Have questions?

The type and level of your organization's engagement with USGBC & LEED are major factors in on membership:

• Value. What do you value most in your membership? The benefits of membership are many and varied, and what's important to one organization may not apply to another. Pick your membership package based on which benefits are of most value to you.
• Engagement. Are you a global company with dozens of LEED projects in the pipeline? Or are you a local nonprofit with a small staff and an even smaller budget? Do you wow the crowds at Greenbuild with the products you exhibit, or do you provide outstanding green building education that you want others in the industry to access?
• Choice. Green building is a diverse industry. USGBC membership is not one-size-fits-all. That's why we let you choose a membership level that fits your organization's needs – a membership that matches your engagement with USGBC and a package of benefits that's of most value to you.
