A Work Group is an alternative approach to standing subcommittees.
Work groups may form spontaneously as relevant issues arise.
One of the main goals of the Work Group approach is to elicit
your short-term committment to a focused goal on a subject
that you care passionately about.
Work Groups may have a variety of goals: to produce a white
paper, letter, comment on an Environmental Impact Statement,
etc. The main criteria for a Work Group is that it has a specific
focus, and a specific product in mind.
Example of a Work Group: a Work Group might form to
produce a white paper recommending conditions that the Coconino
National Forest should attach to grazing leases on Anderson
Mesa to promote biodiversity and wetland function, with special
emphasis on recovery of the Anderson Mesa pronghorn herd.
The group would assemble scientific information, produce the
report, and forward it to the Board for consideration by the
full membership. After electronic approval by the Board and
Membership, and appropriate dissemination of the product,
the Work Group may dissolve.
Any member of the CP Chapter of SCB is welcome to initiate
a Work Group on a specific issue.
