Weifield is excited to announce that our Vice President of Preconstruction, Jim Dent, has been appointed to a two-year term on the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Colorado Local Market Leadership Advisory Board!
The Local Market Leadership Advisory Board serves as the Rocky Mountain region’s primary volunteer leadership voice for USGBC and represents a diversity of locally-based leaders who advise on strategic and tactical activities implemented as part of USGBC’s global work plan. This leadership group works collaboratively within a larger network of Market Leadership Advisory Boards in order to develop and implement integrative, consistent, and effective local work plans in all strategic markets – and help achieve success for the USGBC Community which is defined as a minimum of 20% growth in regions, sectors, products, and target markets.
“The USGBC’s mission is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated – enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life,” said Jim. “This mission statement aligns perfectly with my personal values; I will do everything possible to promote the mission of the USGBC as a board member.”
USGBC helps advance buildings and communities in the Rocky Mountain region that regenerate and sustain the health and vitality of all life within a generation. USGBC Colorado comprises a Market Leadership Advisory Board, several committees, and four branches – Northern, Southern, Metropolitan, and Roaring Fork — that host events, gather stakeholders, and work on region-specific issues.
Jim carries a Master Electrician’s License and has over 40 years of experience in the electrical industry. He is responsible for all directing all aspects of design, estimating, scheduling, negotiating, and coordination for the entire preconstruction phase at Weifield. He is an expert on National Electrical Code (NEC) and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and is currently educating the City of Denver and other city governments on the impacts of the upcoming IECC 2018 changes.
Jim has also served two three-year terms on the Colorado State Electrical Board and is a former president of and vice-president of the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) Rocky Mountain Region.
