Join a Working Group
What are Working Groups
Working Groups (WGs) are a vital part of the process, allowing Members with an interest in any of the major areas of social, environmental, economic or governance concerns facing out community. By coming together, online and in group meetings, members of WGs can share ideas, sort, research and amplify residents’ desired outcomes relating to their topic and prepare statements for communication to our elected representatives indicating the wishes of the community for improvements. The relationship between Working Groups and the other main functions of the association is shown in the figure below.
What do Working Groups Do?
Working Groups:
- Sound out community concerns about a particular problem, an idea or an policy they would like their elected representatives to adopt
- Research the topic, fact-check claims, debunk misinformation and document the desried outcomes of the community supported by reliable references and instyances of best practice
- Collaborate on the topic with people from other organisations within the Northside area or from other Voices groups anywhere around Australia who have joined the WG as “Friends of NCV”
