Dear colleagues and LCA practitioners,
We are excited to announce that, with the support of the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) HQ, the Seattle and Los Angeles LCA Tool User Groups will be merging to form a single, expanded West Coast LCA Tool User Group.
Both groups have hosted monthly meetings to create space for practitioners to share insights on LCA software, methods, and compliance strategies. With similar attendance levels and overlapping discussions—especially around CalGreen and regional best practices—we’re combining forces to foster deeper collaboration and broader participation.
What’s Changing?
-
Monthly West Coast Lunchtime Meetings: Co-hosted by Seattle and LA, open to all LCA practitioners across the region. Currently the first Thursday at noon Pacific time.
-
Flexible Format: Depending on attendance, we may offer breakout rooms (e.g., “newbies” vs. “veterans”) to tailor discussions.
-
Expanded Reach: Practitioners from Vancouver, San Francisco, Denver, and beyond are welcome to join.

Coordination with the Boston Hub is under consideration to explore an East Coast counterpart to keep discussions during lunch hour.
