WORKING GROUPS

Group of diverse people smiling and posing for a photo in a banquet hall with black and white checkered floor, round tables, and chairs.

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.
