The word "support" implies that the changes in corporate culture have
already been defined. If the role of this group is to carry out those
changes, then corporate loyalists who are effective implementers are
required. My view is that the only true support for change comes from
people who have fought for and designed the change. However, if the role
of the group is to initiate change, then you may need to seek iconoclasts.
I'd recommend that the team be self-organizing, it's much more effective
than any other charter.
