  24. Testimonial “It is a great program, full of practical information that can be applied in the workplace at many levels of detail.  The program's strength is it's teachers, who bring to the class their practical, real life experience in implementing sustainable building strategies.  They also bring considerable, and infectious, enthusiasm for the subject matter.” Matt Korot Recycling & Solid Waste Program Manager City of Gresham 2007

  25. Testimonial “Although I’ve had a smattering of “Green Building” ideas and techniques, what I have learned so far is just unbelievable in as much as I’m sure that all of the material and ideas that have been presented so far is just the tip of the iceberg. As someone who has been in the construction industry for 40 years and now in education, I hope to be able to not only teach construction to high school level students at Estacada High School, but be able to instruct them in sustainable building practices and theories to go along with the structural side and how they are both adaptable to building a sound and sustainable structure. I also hope to able to put together a class in Sustainable Practices for those people interested in taking steps toward their own efforts in sustainability in their every day lives.” Cliff Brown, Educator 2007

  26. Testimonial “As a developer of LEED Platinum home communities, I needed exposure to all of the subjects covered--energy, air, water, green building materials and more. Top notch instructors provided excellent power point presentations, hands on, interactive sessions, and delightful field trips guided by specialists.  These field trips supported the class notes with added depth.  Through our team projects, we were able to apply our knowledge to an actual project, and present it to the class. Also, students had many opportunities create a solid network for future collaboration. With this comprehensive knowledge, combined with a new network of peers, I feel a new confidence in my work and ability to provide future consulting services for sustainable branding for new clients. I never could have experienced this vast amount of information without this course which pulled it all together.” LillyVillage Green Homes Development Team2007

  27. Testimonial “I have been extremely satisfied with the SBA course, and it has exceeded my expectations.  It has been the personal and professional highlight of my year. With the guest instructor format, it felt like I was getting private lectures by an expert on each topic, which is not likely to happen without a class format.  This course is absolutely worth the time and money.” Bend Green Building Consultant 2007
