Thank you for joining WorldGBC's Annual General Meeting
Dear GBCs and Partners
Welcome to the September edition of the Global Update newsletter.
Last week we held our first virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) for our member Green Building Councils and I wish to thank those who attended for your participation, input and feedback.
During the AGM, WorldGBC presented the draft proposal for our green building movement’s next three year strategy. These ideas will be discussed fully in the upcoming meetings for the Established GBC CEO Network, WorldGBC Board and Corporate Advisory Board in New York City later this month; during World Green Building Week and Climate Week NYC.
You can now find the minutes and presentation from the meeting on Basecamp within the Docs & Files section of the Members' Area.
We welcome feedback on the material presented during the AGM to help better inform our three year strategy commencing in 2020, to ensure we work together effectively to advance our collective mission to achieve green buildings for everyone, everywhere. Please email me at cgamboa@worldgbc.org and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Cristina Gamboa, CEO, World Green Building Council

Complete WorldGBC's Member Value Survey
![](/eng/resources/publications/WorldGBC-globalupdate/Sep 2019/images/d.jpg)
There's still time to complete the WorldGBC Member Value Survey before it formally closes on Friday 20 September. The Member Value Survey enables WorldGBC to continuously improve and refine our business, to create opportunity for GBCs and to positively impact the movement. The survey is also one of the main sources used to identify trends across the regions, to demonstrate our collective impact and to collect and share information on activities of GBCs. This is your opportunity to provide feedback. The survey, which opened on Monday 26 August, covers everything from membership benefits to advancing green building in your market. The CEO (for Established and Emerging GBCs) and Chairs (for Prospective) should have received a link to the member value survey. Please contact your regional head or WorldGBC's research manager Helen Bell if you have any questions about the survey – hbell@worldgbc.org
