Event Description

Mobilize Wisconsin Green Veterans Event

When: Wednesday, March 1st from 6:00-7:30pm

Location: Kalahari Resort and Convention Center, 1305 Kalahari Dr, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965

Join USGBC Wisconsin and their partners in the Wisconsin Dells for Mobilize Green Veterans gathering held in conjunction with the 2017 Wisconsin Better Buildings: Better Business Conference. At this event, they will be introducing a new Wisconsin initiative – Green Veterans. Attendees will get the opportunity to meet national leaders and hear from members of the highly successful Florida program.

Green Veterans is a group dedicated to helping our nation’s heroes learn about sustainable building and green living, while helping to ease the hardship of military-to-civilian transition. The Green Veterans program focuses on empowering veterans to use their military acumen to help sustain the very Nation for which they fought and which they defended. By collaborating with civilian and veteran groups on green building initiatives, the Green Veterans Program provides practical green education programs that veterans can tap to gain experience and confidence that will be valuable to prospective employers.

Come learn about the Green Vets’ focus on four key activities:

1) Reintegration
2) Sustainability training
3) Veteran-oriented service projects
4) Trauma resolution through green buildings

These efforts are accomplished through outreach, where the approach is to engage Veteran facilities, connect with higher education institutions, and assemble projects through national organizations and community support.

Whether you are a veteran, civilian, educator or employer – anyone who believes in the Green Veterans values and wants to build a strong program in Wisconsin should attend this gathering.
