KUTZTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--7group’s John Boecker today announced that Scot Horst has resigned as president of the nationally known green building consultancy 7group to join the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) as its senior vice president for LEED. "For anyone else, shifting from the private sector to the non-profit sector for a period of time might be surprising, but in many ways it’s quintessential Scot,” said Boecker. “Truth be told, 7group has long been more of an advocacy organization for improving the health of place than a traditional green building consultancy, due in large part to how Scot, and all of us at 7group have chosen to conduct our business and focus our efforts. Scot’s simply taking a logical next step in this phase of his mission-driven career. He’ll be missed in his role with 7group, but we’re all very excited about the leadership he’ll bring to the long-term vision of the LEED green building program, which is something every single person in the building industry should care deeply about. His clarity of vision, technical expertise, relationship-building skills, and uncanny way of aligning people around common purpose is a special gift – one from which everyone involved in green building will benefit.”
