Center for Strategic Priorities
The City of Tacoma established the Center for Strategic Priorities for the purpose of elevating and enhancing areas that are priorities across the organization. The Center is a new integrated office within the City Manager’s Office that brings together the expertise and efforts of the Office of Strategy, Office of Environmental Policy and Sustainability, Office of Equity and Human Rights, and the Government Relations Office.Â
The Center will work to ensure these critical areas continue to be emphasized and become further integrated into all aspects of City practices and operations. The strategic alignment that is created by joining these offices reinforces the commitment of the City to these areas and increases the City’s effectiveness and coordination. By leveraging the strengths of each office, the City of Tacoma aims to: Â
- Develop and implement a cohesive vision for Tacoma’s future.Â
- Support and further equity practices and policies.Â
- Promote environmentally responsible practices and policies.Â
- Represent the City at the regional, state and federal levels.Â
