Planning Team

About the Planning Team

The Planning Team helps to organize meetings of the SFEGWG. The meetings are typically semiannual in frequency.

The Planning Team, leading through a consensus-based process, also helps to brainstorm and forge the direction of the workgroup. To that end, members should be highly collaborative and strong team players.
