The Green Infrastructure Leadership Exchange (The Exchange) is a cross-sector network of practitioners working to advance equitable green stormwater infrastructure across the United States and Canada. Founded in 2016, the Exchange brings together local governments, water agencies, planners, engineers, landscape architects, educators, and nonprofit leaders who are committed to using nature-based solutions to address stormwater management, climate resilience, and community well‑being.

The Exchange focuses on documenting, sharing, and strengthening real‑world practices in green stormwater infrastructure. Through peer learning, training, publications, and convenings, the organization supports municipalities and practitioners in implementing effective, community‑centered solutions. Rather than positioning staff as the sole experts, the Exchange activates the collective knowledge of its members and partners to surface lessons learned, elevate best practices, and promote innovation across regions and sectors.

The organization’s work is grounded in a clear set of values, including collaboration, leadership, community, and equity. The Exchange believes that green stormwater infrastructure can play a meaningful role in addressing historic inequities, improving neighborhood livability, and preparing communities for a changing climate. Its theory of change centers on leadership development, implementation support, and evidence-building to help scale equitable green stormwater solutions.
