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.
