Chris Gorri, an upstate New York native, joined CBF in 2005 in Annapolis where he launched the special events program at CBF’s Philip Merrill Environmental Center. In 2011, he became an integral part of the team charged with designing and constructing the Brock Environmental Center to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification and full-petal Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification. Since then, he has focused on community and outreach programming to educate the public about green buildings and the Bay while managing the daily operations of the facility. Chris can always be found helping out, whether it’s setting up for an event, painting walls, or on a ladder making repairs!
