Andersen employees Gillian Fischer and Jay Sandgren host Andersen’s booth at the Greening the Heartland conference. Andersen is proud to collaborate with other industry leaders at this conference as we work together to create new sustainable designs and products.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and Minnesota Green Communities are hosting the seventh annual Greening the Heartland conference featuring Green by Design on May 19-21. Organizers say this year’s theme, Bridging, “seeks to draw valuable connections between people, places and ideas to help create a sustainable heartland region and beyond.”
Professionals from design, planning, products, preservation, funding and more are coming together to develop innovative solutions that meet the vital needs of today’s society and the environment.
The conference’s keynote speaker Cameron Sinclair will speak today about his vision for humanitarian design. Sinclair is the award-winning executive director and co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, a nonprofit that helps architects offer innovative design solutions to humanitarian crises and communities in need around the world.
Other presentation topics include sustainable development and environmental protection and community planning and individual health.
Events like this foster collaboration and bring new ideas to the forefront. The hope is that concrete, workable solutions benefit us all… it’s In Our Nature.
