Washington State Climate Action Team and Climate Advisory Team
Ross & Associates worked with the Washington Department of Ecology and Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) to convene, facilitate, and provide strategic direction and policy analysis for the state’s Climate Action Team—and its predecessor, the Climate Advisory Team. These teams were charged with establishing a set of recommendations and action plans to meet statewide goals for greenhouse gas emissions reductions, clean energy jobs creation, and reduced dependence on foreign oil.
Washington Lean and Green Manufacturing Assistance Program
Since 2006, Ross & Associates has provided strategic and technical support to an innovative partnership between the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and Impact Washington (formerly Washington Manufacturing Services) and a series of Lean and green manufacturing projects with facilities in Washington State. In these projects, Ecology and Impact Washington have integrated environmental considerations and pollution prevention tools into Lean manufacturing practices to deliver better operational and environmental results.
Washington Department of Health Community Health Assessment Information System
Ross & Associates develop an online survey that was sent out to all the Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJs) in Washington State. The survey results were analyzed based on the population served by the LHJs and their existing infrastructure and policies to provide a holistic picture of the different public user communities and needs in the state.
