 Jonathan Brock is the chair of the Hanford Concerns Council, mutually appointed by representatives of Hanford Challenge and participating companies to oversee the resolution of hard-to-resolve employee safety and health concerns. He is an associate professor at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Affairs.
Brock was the founding chair of the Cascade Center for Public Service, one of the largest training programs in the country for public sector and non-profit leaders, and of the Electronic Hallway, a curriculum service to several thousand faculty in the US and abroad.
Since 2003 he has been the associate director of the William D. Ruckelshaus Center, a university partnership between Washington State University and the University of Washington dedicated to assisting in the resolution of difficult public policy issues and performing research to understand best practices in conflict resolution.
He has served three US Secretaries of Labor under administrations of both parties. His work has twice received the Abner Award from the Society of Professionals in Dispute Resolution for work that crossed over from academia to the professional world, and he was honored in 2004 by the International Personnel Management Association with their Lifetime Achievement Award. He was the founding chairman of the Hanford Joint Council, which resolved whistleblower conflicts at the Hanford federal nuclear site from 1994 to 2003.
Among his publications in personnel and labor relations are Managing People in Public Agencies, Bargaining Beyond Impasse, and Going Public: The Role of Labor-Management Relations in Delivering Quality Government Services, co-edited with David B. Lipsky of Cornell University.
