Note about Workgroups
Workgroups are created by the ARSC, with an endorsed proposal at an ARSC Meeting.
A workgroup differs from a Subcommittee in that workgroups are structured to complete projects within a particular timeframe and may or may not be required to attend the ARSC Meeting. Workgroups are therefore not a standing component of the ARSC. They are considered ad hoc to the ARSC, and are disassembled when the project is completed.
