WORKING GROUPS NINCH accomplishes much of its work by means of its staff working with members organized into working groups. Groups either work together to accomplish their assigned tasks or create a funding proposal for work to be done by member organizations or other consultants. All working groups are authorized by the board; they report to and their recommendations are considered by the board.
