WORKING GROUPS & TASK FORCES

Overview

Working Groups & Task Forces

ASBC’s Working Groups and Task Forces provide members with an ongoing opportunity to shape and engage in our policy work.

Working Groups are organized around major, policy or issue areas, (e.g. energy/environment, tax reform, safer chemicals, responsible workplace, etc.) and they meet on an on-going basis. The working groups are designed to: act as a body of advisors to ASBC staff; help us think long-term; define principles that guide the on-going work within a policy area; identify new opportunities; provide spokespersons; and mobilize members to support  specific campaigns. They meet every two or three months; are supported by ASBC staff and guided by ASBC members who serve as co-chairs.
