Building Innovation: We Seek the Built Environment’s Champions of Diversity and Inclusion
The Consultative Council assembles high-level building community representatives to make recommendations directly to the executive and legislative branches of government to improve our nation's buildings and infrastructure.
Each year, the Consultative Council publishes the Moving Forward Report to investigate key issues, offering solutions to overcoming these challenges. The 2020 Moving Forward Report examines the critical area of “Ensuring Healthy Buildings: How Buildings Can Protect and Promote Public Health.”
To bring together industry leaders and experts from across the built environment to improve our nation's infrastructure and buildings

Bringing America back to work and restarting the economy will take planning and vision. Any movement in the direction toward reentering and repopulating buildings, businesses, and transportation systems must follow the health and safety guidelines set forth by science and data, the federal government, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and World Health Organization. To meet this challenge, the Consultative Council sponsored a series of COVID-19 virtual town halls.
