Each year, Network members self-select into working groups, small, cross-sector teams of Network members who work together to address a specific goal of interest to the group as a whole; to build their own and other's capacity via workshops or trainings; or to learn about and explore a topic of interest together as a community of practice.
Each working group designates a chair and co-chair, establishes a schedule for regular meetings, and participates in a capstone presentation in May.
Members are encouraged to participate in a working group, and may always contact chairs to get involved.
You can read more about the working group annual cycle, procedures, and expectations here.
