Working Groups & Staff

One of the many ways that you can get involved in the organizing efforts for USSF Detroit is through the national working groups and Detroit committees. There are several working groups and committees where you can participate in regular (often biweekly) conference calls. Along with representatives from the Detroit Local Organizing Committee, each Working Group discusses and implements ideas, strategies, and plans around the work needed to bring the USSF to Detroit.

In addition, the USSF has several national and Detroit-based coordinators and organizers helping to make it all happen. They are available to answers questions and assist with a variety of USSF work areas. Feel free to contact them!

For more information about joining a working group or committee, or talking with a staff member, please contact the following point people:
