A number of Hope College Green Team members participate in professional organizations such as AASHE, CURC, and the West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum (WMSBF) https://wmsbf.org/ and learn about professional development opportunities and share them with others around campus. The WMSBF holds monthly events where they cover specific topics related to operations, grounds, sustainable event planning, etc... Often the meetings will then come with "credits" towards their related profession.

The college hosts online web training through SafeColleges which includes several environmental training modules; in particularly one dedicated to energy conservation. All campus employees have been invited to take these as they desire.
