Organizational Work Group (OWG)The Organizational Work Group (OWG) was formed through the consolidation of our internally focused work groups which were New Roots, Growing the Network and Evaluation. This move is designed to strengthen the effort to support edible flint and better coordinate efforts of these groups that compliment one another.

History
Because the OWG was formed from three work groups, its history owes it formation to these past work groups.
- New Roots Work Group was focused on maintaining partnerships and addressing policies for the organization that would reflect the values of the group. New Roots was instrumental in putting the values of edible flint into By-Laws and answering the questions necessary to become a non-profit organization.
- Growing the Network Work Group is responsible for developing the external and internal communications of edible flint including the logo, website, promotional materials and the speakers bureau.
- Evaluation Work Group has worked in consultation with various work groups on evaluation of programs including survey design, data collection and compiling the responses from those evaluations. Evaluation is also interested in maintaining information to be communicated to the greater community, partners and funders.
The Work
The OWG is responsible for communications, partnership and evaluation to keep edible flint work groups making progress toward our mission. The OWG creates materials including pamphlets, this website, and the annual report.
Meetings
The OWG meets monthly on the first Friday of each month at 7:00 am. Meetings take place at Steady Eddy's at the Flint Farmers' Market 300 E. First St., Flint, MI
