I love hearing the stories about the early days, but where are the mentions of the scope and breadth of effort led by Paladino & Co (Brendan only mentions Paladino briefly)? I worked at Paladino & Company from 2003 - 2006 and I think that Paladino's role in developing LEED, running the pilot, developing the certification process, authoring the reference guide, training reviewers, writing CIRs, and Tom's involvement at USGBC leadership level has been greatly under written about and would make for its own separate article.

And yet, at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), we make our commitment to fulfilling this mission the foundation of our efforts every day.
