Catherine Shawn's Death

Catherine Shawn, an energetic and inspiring advocate of green building and director of the highly regarded High Performance Buildings Salon lecture series held throughout New York State, died of breast cancer on April 5, 2004. Shawn was the creator of the Go2Buildings.com Web site and environmental clearinghouse, which brought designers, builders, and suppliers together to advance green building. Prior to that she worked with Ecosmart, an environmental showroom on Wall Street. She had also worked with architect Bill Bobenhausen, FAIA, who noted that “no one cared more or worked harder for environmental change.” The

Center for Economic and Environmental Partnership, Inc. (CEEP) in Albany, which sponsored the Salon series, will continue that program under the direction of Julia Lynch. For information visit www.ceepinc.org.
