Name a Chapter member who works tirelessly to support and encourage the younger members of our profession. Now, name the Chapter member who was recognized for her great efforts with an achievement award – the Student Leadership Award – at the CaGBC annual conference in Vancouver.
Congratulations, Jessica Roder of ONPA Architects!
Jessica started to establish the Emerging Green Builders (EGB) section of the chapter, in Edmonton in 2008, arranging building tours, social events and activities for students and young professionals. Later that year, she was elected to the Chapter’s Board of Directors.
In 2009, she spearheaded a design competition which drew enthusiastic response from a variety of student and young professional teams. No longer an EGB herself, she continues her involvement with the EGB committee, ensuring a smooth transition as new leaders begin to take over.
Before moving to Edmonton, Jessica was involved in the EGB group in Winnipeg, again working to establish its presence in that market.
In addition to green buildings, Jessica’s other volunteer work reflects her passion with sustainable living. She helped establish Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton – a group dedicated to bringing together people who have fruit trees and bushes with people who would like to pick fruit. The produce is shared between the owners, pickers and the food bank.
