Waco chamber chief gets Green Hero honor
Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jim Vaughan is being honored by the National Audubon Society’s Together Green initiative for his part in creating the first green chamber of commerce building in America.
The new chamber headquarters that opened this summer is seeking LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its energy efficiency, natural lighting and sustainability. The building also has a “living” roof.
In a release, Vaughan said, “I’m pleased to be recognized, but I’m especially pleased that the word is getting out that Waco is taking a lead in sustainability.”
