BCONE COMMITTEES

BCONE operates through the interaction of its Executives, the Board of Directors and Committees.  All BCONE members are encouraged to engage in this dynamic and energetic organization by joining a committee.  BCONE committees provide opportunities for individual members to contribute to its growth and promote the redevelopment industry. Joining a committee also provides additional opportunities for members to network with other industry professionals, to build professional relationships, to get additional exposure for your business, and to build your resume. 

In addition to our primary committees below, BCONE also has sub-committees for the governance of the organization, to promote regional expansion of the organization in New England, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware/Maryland, to organize specific events, to manage our scholarship program, and others.  Please contact BCONE if you are interested in joining any of our committees.

Education and Scholarship, Maria Coler of Hydrotechnology Consultants, Inc., Chair

The mission of the Education and Scholarship (E+S) committee is to provide learning opportunities and financial support to the next generation of brownfield practitioners.  The E+S committee has conceived of innovative, hands-on activities, such as the Brownfields, Books, and Brew Club; the Charlie Bartsch Hiking Club; and in-depth, expert tours of iconic brownfield sites.  To synchronize the missions of the two committees, scholarship competition participants prepare essays and posters related to these and other activities.  Plans for this year include an E+S stand-alone fundraiser and award ceremony for scholarship recipients.
