Paul Young, Administrator for the Memphis and Shelby County Office of Sustainability, told the NFRC membership today that learning about the organization has given him a new angle for reaching out to those who can benefit the most from improved sustainability.

Young addressed the group, saying he was unfamiliar with NFRC until he found out its conference was coming to Memphis. He quickly pointed out, however, that learning about NFRC’s mission will make his office more productive.  

 “As a government official, I’m always looking for new ways to help people better understand the importance of making our communities more sustainable -- ways that resonate,” Young said. “Discovering your ratings program has given me a new way to do that.”
