Elevate Your Green Stormwater Infrastructure Journey with Membership

“Participating in GILE has been my best “hack” as a professional working to advance equitable and climate resilient green rainwater solutions for our community. This collective brain trust is my go-to source for questions that arise in my work to implement and support Green Stormwater Infrastructure in our region. GILE’s written resources and the connections I have made with other GSI practitioners have been a catalyst for my projects, saving significant time and resources.”

“The GI Leadership Exchange has been amazing to be a part of. It has been a two-way street of learning from other members and sharing MMSD’s lessons learned as well. You are with like-minded / stormwater / equity people to brainstorm together and troubleshoot. You also have the opportunities to have leadership roles in various learning circles and planning groups. I have been a part of the Exchange for nearly 10 years and it has been invaluable!”

“While I spend a lot of time talking about green infrastructure at the local and statewide scale, GILE provides me with an opportunity to exchange information with colleagues from across North America. The opportunity to develop relationships with experts from other cities across the US and Canada has made it much easier for me to get buy-in and acceptance for innovative ways to manage stormwater that aren’t as unique to us as some might think they are.”

“The Exchange is a space where member professionals, who are also community members in their respective geolocations, contribute softly-tested, or sometimes untested, solutions to anthropogenic climate-related challenges – bantering, testing and sharing strategies, outcomes, modifying processes to the ever changing ways we develop livable communities.”

“The Exchange has and continues to provide so many opportunities for me to learn, collaborate, and support each other with green infrastructure and stormwater management. I know I can count on the members and staff of the Exchange to support me and the City with all things green stormwater infrastructure.”

“Participation in the Exchange has yielded tremendous value to my professional confidence and to my understanding and knowledge of how to do my job.”

“Connecting with other GSI practitioners through the Exchange spurs creative new practices in our City’s program.”

“GILE fosters my confidence as a leader in the field, and my peers in the Exchange provide critical resources and guidance that propel Capital Region Water’s City Beautiful H2O Program forward.”
