Co-hosted by New College and the Interior Design Society Sarasota Chapter, the public Conference will bring together local and national green building experts, and attendees can participate in three panel discussions.

Sarah Boren will be the featured speaker, sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Boren has more than 25 years of professional experience in the environmental sustainability field, having served in numerous roles at the Smithsonian Institution and on Capitol Hill; in the green business consulting industry in California; as an executive director of two nonprofits; and in various positions with the USGBC Florida and the USGBC headquarters in Washington, D.C.

New College of Florida will also host a session on the environmentally conscious process of home building and design.

“Green Building, Healthy Lives! promises to be the most significant consumer-facing environmental gathering of 2022,” said Jesse White, the conference organizer, a New College alum and the owner/founder of Sarasota Architectural Salvage. “This conference will inspire participants to build better structures, empower attendees to implement change, and give influencers tools to help their customers achieve healthier and more sustainable lifestyles.”
