Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Emmett Fiske was a member of the Washington State University faculty in rural sociology from 1979 until his retirement in 2012. In addition to his work as a WSU professor, Fiske also worked as an organizational development specialist, and served as associate director of WSU's Center for Environmental Research, Education and Outreach (CEREO). His professional interests include environmental policy and initiatives, particularly facilitating collaborations between differing entities on natural resource and environmental quality matters. An example of this is the Chelan Agreement, in which Fiske acted as a mediator and facilitator to craft a model collaboration between Native American tribes, farmers and ecologists. The Chelan Agreement led to the formation of the Washington Water Resource Forum and passage of the Watershed Planning Act in Washington state.
