CHE Consensus Statements


CHE Partners on why they value our work
 

What is a Working Group?

CHE Working and Regional Groups are led by CHE Partners who are willing to take a leadership role in the network. In some cases, there are Co-Coordinators who share the workload. CHE Partners can participate in any of the groups, but we especially encourage those Partners who have a background or particular passion in an area to join. You must be a CHE Partner in order to join CHE Working and Regional Groups.

Being part of a working or regional group usually involves conference calls, as well as email interaction, and possibly additional tasks that serve the goals of the particular group.

Each group is listed below, with links for more details and descriptions. If you are interested in joining one of our groups and are currently a CHE Partner, please contact us at: info@healthandenvironment.org. Feel free to direct any questions about the time commitments or group focus to the Working or Regional Group Coordinator. If you have an idea for a new working group, please contact Eleni Sotos, CHE Program Director.
