Bio
Sarah Karle
Sara is an engaged and productive co-worker at USGBC. She contributes to many initiatives outside her own department including membership recruitment efforts and retention events. She is a pleasure to work with and her feedback is always valued.
Marc Heisterkamp
I hired Sara several years ago to join the expanding commercial real estate team at USGBC. Sara is extremely well-spoken and poised and she quickly proved that she was capable of working directly with industry leaders and senior executives. Sara not only executed on her assigned projects, she brought fresh ideas and perspectives to our work. In short, Sara is a dynamic professional capable of great contributions to the sustainable business movement. Her superior work performance aside, what sticks with me about Sara is that she consistently showed that she was willing to put aside personal gain for the good of her colleagues and the green building movement as a whole. Her selflessness is a breath of fresh air in a professional world that often doesn't work that way.

Sara’s dedication and commitment to assist the lodging industry with LEED was much appreciated during and after the LEED Hotel Initiative program. She is an excellent professional individual with strong organizational and people skills. Her in-depth knowledge of the LEED EBOM items allowed further comprehension for members of the program and myself. I really appreciated her continuous support during the program and today.
