Public-Private Partnership Review

Panelists and Areas of Expertise
Panelists serve in a volunteer capacity on this official City panel which reviews and comments on certain public-private partnerships between the City of Seattle and private entities, including nonprofit organizations. The panel is part of a new process, called P4, which the City is using to ensure that it critically examines whether a proposed public-private partnership would meet public benefit objectives.
