Working Groups

PBLN's four Working Groups, focused on Education; Energy & Environment; Health Care & Life Sciences; and Economic Development & Housing, are led by a team of PBLN members who are distinguished professionals in each respective field. The Working Groups advance PBLN’s mission by analyzing public policy issues and best practices, planning conference sessions, or putting on creative educational programs that deepen understanding and bring people together. They also help set the PBLN agenda and focus our members' energy on top priorities.
