Officers A volunteer Chair heads the LSC. A volunteer Incoming Chair and volunteer Immediate Past Chair support the Chair. These three positions are officers.

Terms and Term Limits Volunteer Members. The terms for LSC volunteer members from Committees are determined by their terms as Chairs or Vice Chairs of the Committees they represent. The terms for at-large LSC members are: an initial one-year term, followed by a twoyear term, and then a one-year term. LSC recommends these appointments and the USGBC Board appoints these members based on identified needs for specific expertise and/or experience.

Officers. The LSC officers follow an automatic succession process such that the Incoming Chair succeeds the position of Chair upon the expiration of term, resignation, or discharge of the Chair. The Chair succeeds the position of Immediate Past Chair upon the expiration of his or her term as Chair. Each officer term is one year. The USGBC Board of Directors appoints the Incoming Chair.

Term limits for volunteer members of LSC are four consecutive years, or up to six consecutive years for officers, in conformance with the USGBC Policies and Procedures for Committees and Working Groups.

Committees and Working Groups LSC is empowered to create subcommittees consisting of members of the LSC and working groups in conformance with USGBC Policies and Procedures for Committees and Working Groups.
