Wabash Working Group
Wabash Building Society
The Working Group, struck in early 2006, is dedicated to the "build it ourselves" initiative, under a new non-profit, community-based corporation called the Wabash Building Society. Members of the Working Group are all volunteers and are focused on developing partnerships and raising funds with a wide variety of partners, including the three levels of government, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, foundations, and other sources.
The Working Group meets regularly, but is also broken into sub-groups loosely responsible for these areas:
-Sports & Recreation
-Arts & Culture
-Sustainable Development/Green Building
-Communications
-Community Outreach
-Tenants/Housing
-Financing/Funding
-other subgroups as needed
If you'd like to become a member of the Working Group, please use the Contact Us form and indicate your area of interest and/or expertise.
