The Gateways Network Working Group,
established by the Chesapeake Bay Program, meets on a monthly basis to guide
development of the Network. The Working Group includes representatives of 16
Bay-wide non-profit organizations, and state and federal agencies, many of whom
also provide technical and/or financial assistance for which designated Gateways
may be eligible. For more information see Working Group Meetings and Agendas.
