U.S. Green Building Council has officially announced their Top 10 LEED States — based on square feet of certified space per capita — for 2018! Some notable changes include Illinois moving from third to first place, Texas rejoining the list at fifth, and Washington joining at third! Congratulations to their team of innovators advancing sustainable construction both in the U.S. and globally.
#TeamMoonsail works with the amazing Washington, D.C-based U.S. Green Building Council crew week in and week out, and we were stoked to meet up with everyone in Chicago to support Greenbuild, the world’s largest event devoted to the green building industry. With the Windy City’s recent LEED for Cities certification, it was the perfect place to host the event. Scott, Rose and Lauren left Chicago with renewed conviction that, together, we will address climate change and ensure a sustainable future for all. Congratulations to USGBC on another seamless and inspiring event!

This month, Sparrow Health System commemorated one year since the opening of the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center. The center has opened new doors in the fight against cancer and elevated the care that Sparrow provides to over 70,000 patients per year. It offers one of the largest clinical trial programs and the most advanced radiation technology in the region. #TeamMoonsail contributed to the outreach around the opening of this center and has loved watching it grow and thrive since!
Did you know that one of the most widely-used drugs in the fight against cancer was discovered at Michigan State University by NatSci researchers? Today, decades after its FDA approval, the licensing revenue from Cisplatin continues to support the MSU enterprise, allowing the university to fund innovative research that advances the common good with uncommon will. On August 3 and 4, join MSU NatSci to commemorate #40YearsOfCures and hear how the drug has evolved and is used today.
#TeamMoonsail is so excited to welcome Lauren Tamboer as a full-time member of the team! In her new role as communications specialist, Lauren will use her creativity and talent to continue to support strategic communications, digital marketing, social media execution and reporting, strategic planning, and more. Lauren started her career at Michigan State University, where she studied Communication and minored in Environmental Sustainability Studies. She served as the communications coordinator in the university’s Office of Campus Sustainability, where she sharpened her skills across digital media production, communications campaign design, and editorial writing.
While starting as an intern at Moonsail North, Lauren continued to refine her expertise with a Master’s in Communication, also from MSU. She loves thinking big picture to execute long-term strategy, but also relishes in the use of detailed metrics to inform day-to-day tactics. Her love for all types and temperatures of coffee is unmatched and her blue-eyed mutt, Freyja, is her favorite part of the end of her day.
