Our Organizational Structure

unnamed

 

Friends of the Richmond Greenway (FORG) is composed of 17 member organizations governed by an Memorandum of Understanding – May 5, 2014 that was co-created by all FORG members over the course of 2014 with the help of our facilitator Frank Omowale Satterwhite PHD and updated annually during the last quarter of each calendar year.

Each organization has 1 vote in any FORG decisions.

FORG has an Executive Committee composed of 2 co-conveners, a Treasurer and a Secretary. The Executive Committee is nominated and voted into office annually by the FORG membership.
