Building the First Sustainability Rating System for Local Governments

The STAR Community Index™ (STAR) is a rating system and pioneering performance management platform for local governments designed to measure and improve sustainability on a jurisdiction-wide level. STAR helps cities and counties address their interconnected concerns: economic, environmental and social – with its groundbreaking approach and it is the first sustainability rating system designed specifically for local governments. 2012 marks a major transition for the program as we move from program development into delivery. STAR is interested in a Spring Workshop consultancy that aligns with student interests and abilities while providing added value to the program and the local governments that STAR serves through creating a point allocation system and developing a curriculum and education training program for STAR users.
