Workgroup Products

The Action Agenda Workgroups are self-selected groups of individuals involved in the Dialogue. These Workgroups are the decision-making bodies regarding their area of focus (as defined by the Action Agenda approved at the January 2007 Dialogue meeting). Below are products developed by the Workgroups and then accepted by the Dialogue Steering Committee. Please note that each individual ‘product’ is formally supported only by the organizations that have signed on to them.

If you are interested in becoming involved with one or more of the Workgroups please complete the sign-up process as directed.
