EPA Exchange Network
Since 1999, Ross & Associates has worked to conceptualize, plan, and implement the Environmental Information Exchange Network, which is a nationwide partnership among states, tribes, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for exchanging environmental information efficiently and securely over the Internet. Partners use the Network to fulfill their regulatory information exchange responsibilities, to support complex multi-media environmental solutions, and to provide high quality information to the public. Ross & Associates has contributed to the rapid growth and success of the Exchange Network by facilitating its governance bodies, conducting strategic and organizational planning, coordinating the development and adoption of data standards and data exchange processes, developing outreach strategies, and supporting the development and management of technical infrastructure. Through strategic analysis, program development, and comprehensive facilitation services, Ross & Associates has helped guide the strategic trajectory of the Network while helping to ensure that it retains the support of federal, state, and local partners and provides leadership and connectivity to broader communities of interest.
