Federal Green Building Leadership Award

Congratulations to my husband for winning the Federal Green Building Leadership Award that he’ll get next week in Washington DC.

“The U.S. Green Building Council is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2010 Federal Green Building Leadership Award – Bob Thompson with the Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Thompson leads EPA’s Indoor Environments Branch, the agency’s primary research and development group focused on green building-related research.
