Help with the 2016 election

We also need people to serve on this year’s Nominations and Elections Committee. You don’t need to be an insider, but it helps to be organized and a self-starter. It’s a great chance to get to know lots of wonderful Sierra Club leaders and identify potential new ones! Tasks begin in April and last through vote-counting in December. They include:

  • Identifying and recruiting candidates for the Chapter ExCom;
  • Encouraging local groups to recruit diverse and qualified candidates;
  • Gathering candidate materials and preparing the Chapter election supplement; and
  • Increasing member participation in the election.

If you’re interested in serving on this year’s Nominations and Elections Committee, send an email to elections@sfbaysc.org.
