The Partnership has six workgroups. These workgroups consist of Partnership members, expert community-based consultants, and other parties who embrace the mission of the Partnership and bring expertise in designated areas. Each workgroup has a chair or multiple co-chairs who are recommended by the Board of Directors and elected by the Partnership.

These workgroups collectively created the Rhode Island Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan. The workgroups work toward the implementation of the plan priorities, review these priorities at the Partnership’s annual meetings, and use them to create an action agenda for subsequent years. Each workgroup submits an annual work plan to the Board of Directors and the Partnership for approval.
