Jesse Robbins, LEED AP with the architectural firm Freeman French Freeman, has been named President of the Vermont Green Building Network (VGBN) at their annual meeting in January.
Robbins has served on the board since VGBN’s inception in 2003. In his new role as president, he will promote VGBN's mission of increasing Vermont's participation in green building and the environmental, financial, community and health benefits of green design, construction, and building operation practices.
“Jesse has the energy and dedication to bring this group to another level,” said Jesse Beck, president of Freeman French Freeman. “He’s helped keep our firm at the forefront of what makes great sustainable design and we’re excited to see him progress in this new role.”
The focus of the VGBN in the year ahead is to re-energize its volunteer base and expand advocacy efforts through a new cooperative agreement with Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.
