Passing Parameters within SharePoint Designer

Question

I'll preface this by saying it's probably something that needs to be done in Visual Studio, but my tool of preference is SPD.
I'm building a simple email workflow.
If Current Item: Assessors Assigned = Yes
   If Current Item:Reviewed = No
      If Current Item:Department = Agriculture
            Email Agriculture Assessors
      Else if Current Item:Department = Anatomy
            Email Anatomy Assessors
If there were only 2 groups of assessors that's not really a big deal, but there are 56 groups, so the way I have my workflow set I'll have to create 54 more email steps.
What I'd like to be able to do in SPD is
If Current Item: Department = Agriculture then Current Assessor Group = Agriculture Assessors,
then email Current Assessor
That way I would only need one email step in the workflow.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know it will work for you. But I have one idea
on the list just add extra one column called alert email. on Item creation item populate the column value based on department.
Now every row having the email value based on the department. Then
If Current Item: Assessors Assigned = Yes
   If Current Item:Reviewed = No
      Email <>
In Email activity to address  pass the current item email column value. So the email will send to the regarding department. you no need to check department name
