Let me add my congratulations Brandon. Isabelle Greene took that portion many times (I’m sworn to secrecy on the total) but she passed. And Clayton, congratulations!

Congratulations Brandon! It was obviously a real slog, but you kept after it! This is a good lesson for everyone, if you don’t give up and keep working at it, you will pass.

Clayton,

I imagine Ready Set Practice by Bruce Sharky or Guidelines for Professional Practice by Lane Marshall would address this.

I agree with Heather about building a track record of using the SSI. It is through application in the real world that tools like the SSI show their strengths and value.

Heather L. Venhaus posted an update in the group The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months ago

In order to continue building natural capital through the design construction and maintenance of regenerative systems, we need to see the application of…[Read more]

Hi Heather! You and I have had many past conversations when you were in the trenches with SSI. So what are your current thoughts from your new perspective relative to what needs to happen to keep the SSI momentum going? Is practical application the key….or are there other issues that are just as critical?

You’ve been a great resource…..hope…[Read more]

Heather L. Venhaus posted an update in the group The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months ago

Hey Folks! Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. After completing the 2009 report, I resigned as project manager of the Sustainable Sites Initiative to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my 7 month old son. I am excited to hear your thoughts and concentrate more strongly on the practical application of the…[Read more]
