The William D. Ruckelshaus Center is an impartial resource for collaborative problem solving in the State of Washington and the Pacific Northwest. We are dedicated to assisting public, private, non-profit, tribal, and community leaders in their efforts to build consensus around complex public policy issues. We also build problem-solving capacity by helping individuals and organizations better understand, initiate, and lead collaborative public policy efforts.
Your support allows the Center to address public policy challenges in housing, education, health care, natural resources, and more. The Center’s expert guidance can transform conflict to collaboration, but not without the generosity of people like you!
