Our General Sessions include the ABCs of ESG, which will set the stage for our commitment to have ESG-focused sessions at every conference. We will also spend some time in a more focused Session on Health & Wellness and strategies to improve within the built environment.

Most importantly, July will feature the inaugural meeting of our ESG Committee. Join us as the Committee leaders share their mission, goals, and initiatives. We invite you to add your thoughts, ideas and energy!
