We believe in strong governance and accountability – to our mission, to the sustainable built environment movement, and to our member Green Building Councils.
And this is the role of our Board of Directors, a group of highly experienced building industry professionals, who are nominated by our Established Green Building Councils and elected by our full membership of Green Building Councils. The Board of Directors are closely affiliated with our members.
The Board’s role is to advise and oversee WorldGBC’s organisational strategy and governance, and to ensure we are operating effectively as a not-for-profit organisation and delivering on our mission.
We follow best practice governance and elect each Board member every two years. Our Executive Committee (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) is elected every year.
Nominations are now open for the 2025 elections to the WorldGBC Board of Directors. As per our Bylaws, WorldGBC invites representatives of Established Green Building Councils (GBCs) to submit their nominations by 31 March 2025. Further details about this exciting leadership opportunity can be found in the Board of Directors Role Description and the Board nominations form 2025. Nominations should be submitted to Franziska Zwickel, Grants and Governance Officer, WorldGBC, at fzwickel@worldgbc.org. The elections will take place during the June 2025 Annual General Meeting and newly elected Directors will serve a two-year term starting on 1 July 2025.
