New LEED Study Group meeting

[David F. Schmidt]

Hi all,

Several of you have indicated that you want to participate in a new
LEED Study Group. Lets plan on an organizational meeting on this
Wednesday at 5:30 PM at Stephanos, located at 4632 South Maryland, in
the shopping center across from the UNLV Student Union Building. We
will be begin with a LEED Green Associate Study Group and then likely
follow up with a LEED for Commercial Interiors Study Group. Please
note that several hours of self study (such as participation in this
study group) can count toward your Credential Maintenance requirements
if you are already a Legacy LEED AP. If you know anyone that is
interested in participating in a LEED Study Group, please forward this
e-mail to them accordingly.

Please note that participation in this study group is free of cost,
other than purchase of your own study materials.

For this first meeting, please review the LEED Green Associate
Candidate Handbook at:
