Institute of Green Professionals

(OP)
Has anyone heard of this organization, or know of anyone in it?

Thanks

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

I heard it's run by very short green men with big eyes.  Not sure what planet they're based on.

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

Google the "Green Police" Super Bowl ad.  It's better than their website.


 

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

In my geographic area, "green" refers to an inexperienced-sometimes over ambitious person.  

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

It's an organization for people doing really, really nasty jobs (changing diapers on somebody else's kid, frinstance).

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

Green is the new black.

Thanks for the help.

I was hoping someone here knew someone in this org who could vouch for its authenticity, or lack thereof.  Obviously I was mistaken.

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

The mission statement says it all:

Mission Statement
"The Institute of Green Professionals is a transdisciplinary network of sustainable development professionals, academics and organizations that advance global sustainable development through education, credentialing, research, philanthropy and a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct."

 IGP Board of Directors, July 15, 2008.

 

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

I thought their mission statement was, "Hulk want to smash!"

Cheers,

They sound like the kind of people who like to get rich off government funding.

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

I'm a LEED A.P. and I've never heard of this organization.  USGBC/GBCI is the big fish in the industry.  Green building is the current buzzword, and I'm sure there will be all sorts of businesses and associations sprouting up with the goal of making a dollar.  I'm not saying for sure that this one isn't reputable, but if you have your doubts, then that's probably your answer.

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

maybe they are thinking green

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

It's what the AIG managers call themselves when they all go out together.

RE: Institute of Green Professionals

Reminds me of the organization that picks the "Best Lawyers in America."  They notify an attorney that he's been picked, and he writes them a bio, etc..., and once he's signed off on agreeing to be in their publication, they ask him for a contribution to cover their expenses.  Of course, very few say no -- they're being rated as a "Best in America" after all.

Whee!

I'd stay away from anything that sent me an unsolicited nomination to anything.

Good on ya,

Goober Dave
