Policy and Working Committees
Study Committees
Since 1952, the Citizens League has engaged its members in a unique policy development process we call study committees. Study committees are made up of Citizens League members who get together to learn about, talk about, and make recommendations about an important public policy issue. Read more about current and past study committees.
Board Committees
| Including: Policy Advisory, Membership and Engagement, Events and Programming, Development, Nominations and Leadership Development, Communications and Outreach, Finance and Audit |
Citizens League Board committees and work groups carry out important work such as advising on policy topics and fundraising for the Citizens League. And, we are always looking for new perspectives. You do not have to be a board member to serve on a committee, but you must be a member of the Citizens League. Find out more or apply to serve on a Citizens League Board Committee.
Policy Working Groups
| Including: Tax Policy Working Group, Education Policy Working Group, Standards and Practices Working Group |
Policy working groups become familiar with the historic work of the Citizens League on particular issues, keep track of the changing policy landscape in Minnesota, and advise the Citizens League Board and staff on potential projects (events, study committees, etc.) relating to the issue. Find out more about the Citizens League's policy working groups.

Action Groups
Young participants (ages 18 to 26) are organizing projects to take action in the areas of energy and the environment and poverty and public leadership. The two action groups focus on a specific question within each area, propose a plan of action to address the question, and put that plan into place. Find out more about the action groups.
Facts Unfiltered Working Group
Each month, Citizens League members and staff collaborate to select a timely policy topic, then ask the important -- and sometimes uncomfortable -- questions and dig up the answers. Just the facts, unadulterated and unspun. Find out more or apply to serve on the Facts Unfiltered Working Group.
