Workgroups

The RAIN RFID Alliance currently has multiple workgroups, where members of the Alliance can work together on specific projects for markets/industries, or technical topics. The workgroups have conference calls, usually monthly, and face-to-face meetings at the RAIN RFID Alliance events.

The current workgroups are:

Each workgroup has a Chair and Vice-Chair who manage the workgroup’s direction. Some workgroups have an Executive sponsor to help guide the direction. Most RAIN Alliance member companies have provided volunteers for the workgroups. Typically, there are 10-20 people on the conference calls and 30-50 people attend the face-to-face meetings.
Each workgroup has created a charter which describes the mission, vision, scope, values, and projects for the workgroup’s activities.
It is common for the Executive Sponsors to represent end-users which are members of the Alliance.
