Lean and Green Workshops Today

So excited about our workshops today at WFSE/AFSCME Council 28's convention in SeaTac.  We are honored to be joined by some very talented individuals with much to share.  Come check us out!  

LEAN AND GREEN: CROSSROADS OR CROSSHAIRSThe intersection of Lean & Green initiatives in state government and what it means to represented employees.

Cascade 10  |  1 pm & 3 pmPanel: Jim Wavada, Ecology; Darrell Damron, Results Washington; Renee Smith Nyberg, DES; and Julie Vanneste, Department of Corrections.

This workshop looks at the implementation of the Lean and Green initiatives currently being rolled out in state agencies. Panelist will explain what each of these initiatives is intended to accomplish.  We will explore some of the stereotypes and misconceptions attached to these initiatives.  As recognized experts at agency implementation of these initiatives,  our panelist will help us to explore how the rollouts of these initiatives are meant to affect represented employees at agencies where implementations are underway.  Attendees will be invited to participate in the discussion with their own insights on the issue.
