Workgroups are people that work together on shared goals, often because of employment. Our platform encompasses workgroups in both USA and Canada, including Federal, State, and Provincial agencies, local governments of Counties and Regional Districts and their Municipalities, and from Special Districts to Private actors, including small NGOs and even Non-Institutional Groups. Agencies are very influential because of their management of Funding and Regulation and their steady base funding that supports staff. In our region Tribal Governments have a unique position, asserting Treaty Rights. Many important decisions over Land Use and Infrastructure are delegated to Counties/Districts and Municipalities. Private entities dominate the production of goods and services. Among all this actors, NGOs attempt to cultivate Public Goods and improve Common Pool Resource Management. Formal Academic institutions are both public and private, however Knowledge Creation also occurs outside of the Academy. Coordination groups play a unique role in bridging among institutions.

What Is In A Workgroup Page

Check out our Style Guide for suggestions on developing workgroup pages. Workgroup notes might include: sources of funding or legal authorities, the number of people in the group, how they are organized, what do they do, the geography they work in, and the purposes towards which groups work. One might develop a chronology section, to record the history and pivotal moments in the life of a workgroup. You might use Content Templates to list Efforts or Products.

Workgroup Categories

Consider using the following categories when creating workgroups:

  • Workgroup Type - Workgroup type describes the kind of institution in terms of its legal status, and is our primary way of identifying workgroups
  • Effort Type - Effort categories define workgroup intentions and purposes, and is can be useful to list workgroups by the kinds of activities that they conduct.
  • Places of Operation - Some workgroups work within a particular geography. If you include place categories, a workgroup can be identified by place.
  • Jurisdictions - Similar to places, some workgroups are focused on certain governmental jurisdictions.

Workgroups by Region

A useful way to see the collection of workgroups is by Region, and each region page describes its workgroups further.
