Today's gonna be a little different format. I'm actually just going to give a PSA, a public service announcement. I can't believe it, we're halfway through 2020, what a wild and crazy year it has been for all of us. What I want to cover today is just some stats, some trends in the green building and now healthy building movement. 

We want to make sure you understand what's happening on the LEED front, WELL, FITWEL and other programs. We want to talk about credentials, credential trends, and online learning. Want to tell you a little bit about how my company's in this green building movement have been innovative during the pandemic time.

I want to open up for some feedback on the podcast. So first, I know everyone's been impacted a little differently here with the pandemic and COVID-19, I hope you're okay. I hope you and your family are healthy. I hope your carriers and jobs are intact. I know some have been drastically affected much more than others. I know, I'm still working from home. My boys are out of school now for the summer. I'm based here in Atlanta, Georgia, and we're definitely fortunate to be able to keep most of our work. Most of our projects, most of our learning going both from remote work and we're doing the best we can on all fronts. I know we're still in the middle of the pandemic as we record this podcast, but I just want to give you some encouragement and just say, I hope everything is okay with you.
