What's a Workgroup?

V-REMS Workgroups are small sub-groups of the V-REMS partnership that focus on specific issues and collaborative opportunities.  A typical workgroup is composed of anywhere from three to twenty V-REMS partner organizations.  The purpose of a workgroup can range from serving as a forum for sharing information about a specific topic to organizing partners around a collaborative opportunity.  For instance, one V-REMS workgroup focuses on sharing partners' various energy efficiency initiatives so that partners can learn from and replicate each other's efforts.  Another V-REMS workgroup brings partners together to collaborate on increasing the number of E-85 fueling stations in the Richmond area.  V-REMS workgroups are formed when partners identify a need for convening a sub-group to focus on a specific initiative.  Accordingly, V-REMS workgroups convene telephonically and in-person on an as-needed basis.
