Working groups emerge from the annual Sustainable Cleveland 2019 Summits and focus on different topics to build a brighter future for Cleveland. Working groups are an essential part of the Sustainable Cleveland initiative because they continue Summit momentum throughout the year and help to expand our reach to various communities. Working groups are all volunteer based – if you would like to get involved, you can find contact information on each group’s page.
