SDC kicked off its eleventh year with commemorations of the first ten, announcing – in lieu of a grand celebration – donations made to three high-quality environmental groups: Rainforest Alliance, Trust for Public Land, and Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the latter of which received their donation in person. Reflections on ten years in business also brought cause for celebrating ten of SDC’s key accomplishments, memorialized on a two-sided bookmark: one side in English and the other in Spanish, acknowledging the firm’s intentions to reach a wider national and international audience. These accomplishments marked the slice in time of the moment, including: 10 years in business, 9 LEED Platinum projects, 8 dozen public presentations, 7 hundred training attendees, 6 small business designations, 5 consulting service categories, 4 municipal outreach programs, 3 organizational awards, 2 regional offices, and 1 LEED Fellow. SDC had fun distributing these bookmarks at conferences, in mailings, and in person – do you still have yours?
