WORKING GROUPS
Midwest BDC convenes several working groups to address opportunities for engagement in building decarbonization work and to create a space for cross-sector collaboration.
We connect individuals representing a mix of local, state, regional, and national organizations - from local environmental and climate justice advocates to nationally recognized “Big Greens.”
All working groups meet on Zoom either monthly or quarterly.
