Buildings are diverse and beautiful but they must also be sustainable. We believe green buildings can and must be at the centre of our lives but our changing climate means we must reshape the way we grow and build.

A Regional Manager’s work within the Regional Network is prioritised equally around three main areas:
1) Work directly with existing GBCs one-on-one to help them build strong and impactful organisations as well as help to establish new GBCs working with founding groups in different countries

• Work closely with the Marketing and Communications Manager to communicate successes and needs of the Regional GBCs and the Network to a regional and international audience;
• Represent the region at a national, regional and international level, in speaking engagements, policy development, and in the media;
• Map regional public sector stakeholders, multinational corporates and NGOs with whom relationships will be built and nurtured at the ARN level;
