A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):
Shortly after a department participates in the Green Office Network introductory program, the faculty and staff in each department elect a Green Leader. A Green Leader is the sustainability champion of his/her team and is an individual who will promote sustainability in his/her office year-round. More specifically, Green Leaders are recognized as individuals who are dedicated to planning events, educating staff and faculty, acting as a point of contact for inter-department networking, and helping to achieve campus wide sustainability initiatives.
None
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (1st program):
Green Leaders must attend quarterly meetings to receive training on a variety of different topics. Some topics include proper recycling practices, sustainable renovation options, contact information to help coordinate a sustainable event (i.e. getting green catering and compostable plate ware), and energy saving practices for his/her office. By attending these meetings and connecting with Green Leaders from different departments, each Green Leader becomes a valuable resource for his/her office. They are knowledgeable about sustainability efforts at GWU and the steps that their office can take to become more sustainable.
