So you can know
What is a committee or working group
A committee / working group is an aspect of the chapter that works on a single or multi cause issue. Committees are formed from charters that dictate how and what the committee will work toward. For example our housing committee works on organizing tenant unions that help renters advocate for their fair housing and provide resources for tenants to organize eviction defense. We have committees of different causes that function within the chapter.
