Board of Accountancy Embracing and Encouraging Stakeholder Participation in Regulation To encourage and facilitate stakeholder participation in the regulation of accountancy, the Board scheduled its 1999 board meetings in four locations around the state. [Previously the Board met only in Seattle.] Additionally, the Board holds a Forum with Practitioners at each location to further invite participation in the regulation process. The forums are designed to provide local CPAs, accountants, and other interested individuals an opportunity to query the Board and provide input on (1) nationwide trends in professional services and regulation of accountancy, (2) rules under review or revision, and/or (3) recent rule changes. The Board also holds a luncheon meeting at each location with local area accounting students to provide an opportunity for students to meet the Board members and learn about the profession's entrance requirements. Results « Improved communications with customers. « Increased Board awareness of stakeholder concerns, interests, and expectations. « Licensee participation in regulation of the profession.

Department Of Agriculture and WSU HALT ILLEGAL SALE AND PRODUCTION OF QUESO FRESCO Queso Fresco is a traditional soft white Mexican cheese produced usually from raw unpasteurized milk and untreated animal gut. It is illegal to offer Queso Fresco for sale using traditional manufacturing methods or for uninspected raw milk to be sold or given to others for any purpose. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) identified Queso Fresco as the source of several major outbreaks of antibiotic resistant forms of Salmonella in the Yakima Valley. A task force of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Yakima County Health District (YHD), Washington State University (WSU), WSU Cooperative Extension, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and a number of local community agencies collaborated to come up with creative solutions to provide safer homemade Queso Fresco and eliminate the illegal supply. The WSU and WSU Cooperative Extension enlisted the help of “Abuelas” (grandmothers) to help in educating the Hispanic women to use safe ingredients to make Queso Fresco. Results ★ Conducted a program to educate and sensitize all of the members of the Hispanic community to the health dangers from eating traditional forms of Queso Fresco cheese. ★ Cooperated with the CDC investigation by processing milk samples for the presence or absence of Salmonella. ★ Implemented goals to stop illegal cheese production and sale. ★ Educated licensed dairy owners and milk cooperatives of the dangers of selling raw milk and the need to take steps to prevent the theft or pilfering of raw milk. ★ Provided several seminars to potential legal makers of the cheese to make a product that can be legally sold. ★ Developed a Spanish and English brochure to distribute providing information about making Queso Fresco.
