MAPEI Sustainability Manager Named LEED Fellow

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. – Brittany Storm, sustainability manager for MAPEI Corporation, is among the 2022 class of LEED Fellows selected by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI).

Twenty professionals from around the world are being recognized in the 2022 class for their mastery of LEED – the world’s most widely used green-building rating system – and exceptional work in advancing green building practices.

Storm and the other LEED Fellows received recognition during the recent Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in San Francisco.

 “It is an honor to be recognized by the USGBC,” Storm said, “and I look forward to continuing to advance the principles behind LEED on future projects.”

Jim Whitfield, MAPEI’s Director of Technical Services, said that this “is an incredible honor, and we are very proud of Brittany’s accomplishment. There are over 200,000 USGBC members; it is quite an acclamation to be elevated to Fellow. Last year, 21 members were elevated.

“To be eligible, a nominee must have held a LEED AP with specialty credential for a minimum of eight years,” Whitfield continued. “The nominee must also demonstrate at least 10 years of exceptional impact with LEED in the key mastery elements of technical proficiency, education and mentoring, leadership, commitment and service, and advocacy.”

“We are proud of Brittany’s accomplishments, proud of her push to further incorporate sustainability into every possible aspect of operations at MAPEI,” said Luigi Di Geso, MAPEI’s president/CEO. “We congratulate her on this great milestone and look forward to future innovations.”

“Behind every green building project are dedicated professionals who are committed to creating more sustainable and healthy buildings and communities. The LEED Fellows program is aimed at recognizing those individuals and their achievements in the built environment,” said Peter Templeton, interim president/CEO of USGBC and GBCI. “This year’s class of LEED Fellows represents a group of bold and innovative leaders who have made a lasting, positive impact on their communities through their impressive career achievements.”

GBCI is the premier organization independently recognizing excellence in green business-industry performance and practice globally.
