Great Knowledge and Connection to Building Industry

I recently received a kind recommendation from a builder in Suncadia. I wanted to share it with you all.

“I worked very closely with Jayme on a demonstration project in Suncadia this past year and I have to say her work ethic, attention to detail and her ability to multi-task throughout the whole project was impressive. She has a great knowledge and connection with the sustainable building industry and is a great resource for a consultant. The home ended up being a great success for all parties involved and most importantly my Clients were ecstatic and Jayme was a big part of this result.” - Travis Gibson, Nine Pine Developments

Jayme, How Do I Study for the LEED Green Associates Exam?

Jayme — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:05:48 +0000

Dear Fellow Readers,

I have been asked a few times about what to use for studying for the LEED Green Associates Exam. In response to your requests, here is a blog post.

This summer when I started studying for the test they didn’t have the prep courses or materials available. I ended up going to USBGC’s website and downloading all of the suggested readings they listed on there. This provided me a starting place to begin studying.

A resource that was suggested to me was the Green Exam Prep. It really was amazing; it provides you online tests to take so that you get the hang of what questions are asked and in what format.

Resource:

Green Exam Prep $49

They also have a class, Green Exam Prep $99

I found the LEED Green Associate exam fairly straight forward since it is a broad overview of topics.

Good luck! I know you will do great!

Help For The Hard Times

2008 Team Photo

Help For the Hard Times is a team I formed in 2001. I wanted to give back to the community and felt that donating my time as a team captain and in fundraising efforts was a good first step.

Help For the Hard Times is new to Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It has focused its efforts over the past years with Lifelong Aids Alliance and Diabetes Association – two organizations which are near and dear to my heart. First because I used to work with HIV victims through an advocacy program when I was a teenager. Second, because my father lived life with Diabetes and passed away from complications in 2007.

I am blessed to have friends and family who have participated in fundraising efforts and have attended the walks for these two organizations since the beginning. I look forward to this tradition being carried over to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to seeing you on June 7th.

Best Wishes,

Jayme Mattson
