In 1999 architect Dennis Thompson and
contractor Dennis Allen met to discuss
promoting green building. They soon
discovered that many of their colleagues
in the design and construction industry,
including some members from The
Sustainability Project, a local
non-profit, wished to join them. This
new group wanted to provide growing
numbers of green-aware clients with
quality, sustainable design and
construction. At the first GBA planning
meeting on June 22, 1999 attendees
decided to form a group of green
building experts. They developed a name,
a logo and a marketing campaign. The
Green Building Alliance’s first by-laws
were adopted in June, 2001. The
Green Building Alliance (GBA) is a group
of design and construction professionals
working together to create a more
sustainable built environment. For
