The following working groups have been meeting since January 2018 to form a solid foundation for the Partnership. The Partnership will keep the existing Working Groups in place through June of 2020, at which point elections for the new Partnership Executive Committee will be held. During this time, the existing working groups will have the opportunity to develop their transition plan to the new governance structure and determine participation based on the Partnership membership.
