• Our background is in public involvement and outreach, and as much as we have shaped the work we do, the work has shaped us. We believe that going green is far more than a trend, and issues about the environment and the community are dear to our hearts. We have expertise in three specific areas in the western region. We provide the following services in these areas.

  • public involvement & outreach
    The management and facilitation of public processes is not a task to be taken lightly. Our staff is trained and certified in public process and facilitation. We understand the gravity that comes with gaining public approval on community and environmental issues and we help our clients manage this process.
  • crisis management
    Emergency strikes. Crisis happens. It’s inevitable. Are you prepared? Are you prepared to communicate with your audiences, both external and internal, and stakeholders during and after crisis hits? The way people react during a crisis shows the world what we’re made of.
  • public process & facilitation
    Public involvement is a two-way process, and bringing people together to discuss issues, understand policies and make informed, educated decisions is vital to the public process. We are fully knowledgeable and ready to help you reach your audience with proper strategic planning. We work with our clients to develop the best approach, which may include public meetings or workshops, advisory committees, poster sessions, open houses, presentations, informational materials, project websites, surveys and media communications and relations. And, matching the most effective tools to each stakeholder group.
  • media training
    Being properly prepared to address the media, stakeholders and members of your community is a top priority. Messages can be pointless if strategic relationships with the media, and therefore the public, aren’t functional. Public speaking is the number-one fear of most Americans and this is where we come in. Officials representing public, governmental, community or environmental agencies must be prepared to act as spokespeople for their organization.
  • creative services
    Getting your message out into the world, where people will see or hear it is only half the battle. Crafting a message that people want to see or hear is another animal entirely. We use our expertise to create pieces that disseminate your important messages through the most effective strategies and tactics possible. Whether it’s a presentation, display, brochure, white paper, a direct mailer, a website or a combination of various elements, we can create it.
