Michael Gullo and Alison Kerry will be presenting at the 5th Annual Environmental Evaluators Networking Forum on June 7th in Washington D.C.  Michael and Alison will be sharing their perspectives on tools and techniques that lead to successful evaluations.

The Environmental Evaluators Network strives to advance the field of environmental program and policy evaluation through more systematic and collective learning among evaluators and evaluation users. This forum will provide participants from around the world and the public, non-private and public sectors with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences about the use and significance of evaluation in their respective organizations and disciplines.

On May 11th, 2010, Stefan Reinecke presented a paper at the 2010 Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) Federal Contaminated Sites National Workshop on improving the sustainability of contaminated sites remediation projects through energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) management.  The presentation came out of Stratos’ work with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, which focused on two of the largest contaminated projects in Canada and explored opportunities for improved energy management, the use of renewable energy sources and other GHG reduction strategies, as well as steps to integrate sustainability into project management frameworks.
