Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Through public interest communications and events, the Founcation works to improve the environment, reduce the impact of pollution on human health, support the development of sustainable economics and inspire student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. These activities forward its focus on supporting and facilitating, science and education in service of life.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Foundation works to communicate and highlight strategies and technologies that can improve health, education and the environment. It does this through conferences that enable public and private sector sustainability leaders to share lessons learned and best practices, training on Californias energy and green building codes and editorial content. It also works in partnership with scientists and educators to develop reports, white papers, classroom lessons and other resources.

  • Green Technology This initiative, now in its 17th year continues to support Statewide efforts in sustainability. From building and transportation sustainability to environmental literacy California stands as a world leader in establishing standards and practices that others strive to emulate. The Foundation?s Green Technology team and their advisors are proud to serve and to meet the challenges inherent in these tasks. Central to this work are Green Technology Magazine, The Sustainable Facilities Forum and The Green California Schools and Community Colleges Summit. Such are amongst the tools that FASE uses to help identify and share innovation, policy, and best practices. This initiative builds on decades of Foundation engagement in environmental health and environmental policy. Its mission is to support public and private sector efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve building health, conserve resources and create clean and sustainable communities. Green Technology Summits and Forums and Training provide valuable resources to sustainability leaders and decision makers from state and local government, schools and colleges and the private sector. These resources enable major stakeholders in all of these sectors to highlight and disseminate innovations in policy, practice and technology. Sustainable Facilities Forum 2022 For 2022 Forum the event held in Sacramento. It was in person and virtual with 209 participants. Consistent with our years of in person Forums and Summits the event included keynotes and a full day of education sessions covering a wide variety of sustainability topics of interest to private and public sector facility managers, influencers, and companies with sustainability solutions. Green California School and Community Colleges Summit The 2022 Green California Schools and Community Colleges Summit took place in early October 2022 and was held in person at the Pasadena Conference Center and as a virtual event. The event participation increased over the previous year with over 349 attendees and 48 company sponsors offering green products and services. Keynotes and education sessions addressed building health, storm water management, energy and water conservation, environmental literacy and more. The education program reflected a diverse mix of speakers sharing best practices and innovations in furtherance of the many sustainability efforts underway and in planning stages across the state. Green Technology also continues to develop the Sustainable Facilities Champions program. Working with leaders in innovations, products and services GT helps connect these Champions to public sector stakeholders tasked with meeting the State?s goals in sustainability. This service is provided on an invitation only subscription basis and provides support for Green Technology operations designed to further California?s leadership in the world when it comes to achieving Governance and private sector efforts to create more sustainable living environments and transportation systems. There are now 20 Sustainability Champions participating in this program which in addition to providing unique and vital products and services to our public sector stakeholders the program offers a recurring revenue stream in support of Green Technology outreach and activity. Online Training Series Green Technology continued to offer webinars focused on key issues for sustainability professionals. Green Technology Magazine The magazine continues to write and publish articles that support the Foundation?s sustainability mission and projects.

  • Improving Mathematics and Science Education:FASE continues to work to provide STEM education resources throughout the country reaching approximately 1500 unique classrooms per month. FASE is seeking grants and partnerships to expand this important program area. FASE continued to promote its resources for teachers and students as part of the Foundation?s decades long efforts to engage more students in STEM education. 2022 marked the 40-year anniversary of the famous Jaime Escalante class that brought acclaim to master teacher Jaime Escalante. FASE has established an ongoing program ? The Jaime Escalante Legacy Project as part of the Foundation?s STEM education activities. FASE is seeking and has begun to procure grants and form collaborations to further this program effort and is creating teacher training modules that help teachers use this resource and further their efforts to engage their students in STEM studies. FASE also began a collaboration with a nonprofit Mission Brain. There are currently 35 international, student-run misson:Brain chapters, of which Harvard Medical School's was the first. We are collaborating on a film that will tell the story of mission:Brain from its origins providing underserved with vital neurosurgeries to its growing commitment to the equitable distribution of healthcare delivery systems wherein MB is helping FASE champion a robust pipeline of future healthcare STEM workers and professionals worldwide to fill this need while furthering their footprint providing world class neurosurgery services across the globe.

  • Environmental Health: For more than three decades, the Foundation has engaged in projects addressing the problem of chemical body burden?the accumulation of environmental chemicals in fat and blood. It has come to play a unique and vital role in efforts to bring relief to those affected by toxic exposures from the environment or the workplace through a detoxification regimen involving exercise, sauna, vitamin and mineral supplements and other elements. FASE continues to provide scientific support for a project in Vietnam helping Vietnamese citizens affected by exposures to the defoliant Agent Orange. In 2022 FASE President ? Keith Miller and FASE Senior Research Associate Bob Graves visited Vietnam, FASE President and Director of Operations and others worked to conduct online support to personnel involved with this effort both here and in Vietnam. For 2023 FASE is planning and facilitating delivery of several virtual workshops and is preparing for the implementation of a routine outcome monitoring (ROM) tool for all the Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange and Dioxin (VAVA) delivery centers and that connects with FASE and other support groups to help track and report results.
