PolicyPalooza is USGBC California’s annual two-day Rite of Spring gathering in Sacramento devoted to state policy and innovative ideas. Ask around: those who’ve attended past events rank it as one of the highlights of the year. Held in conjunction with activities at the Green California Summit, PolicyPalooza 2015 consists of the April 7th Day at the Capitol, where USGBC members from around the state gather and meet with their local legislators and their staffs about making our shared transformative vision the new normal. In between meetings, you can visit our Summit exhibit booth, regroup and share experiences at our Advocates’ Luncheon and toast our policy champions at our Green Hard Hat Awards reception. PolicyPalooza Day 2 shifts to the USGBC California track of panel sessions at the Green Summit devoted to LEED & CALGreen, data & building performance, and water reuse.

USGBC members comprise a big tent collection of people from a variety of business and professions united in their desire to build a more sustainable, prosperous and equitable world. We need to make our voices heard in Sacramento and we very much welcome and appreciate your participation. Extra credit for Southern California members. Act now!
