Nominations for Chapter and Group Executive Committee Elections
~ Due by August 16, 2024
Become a candidate to serve on your group or chapter executive committee! No experience is necessary. If you want to help create a vision, make policy, execute plans to protect and preserve our environment, participate in deepening work on equity and justice, and have fun while doing it, please nominate yourself. If you know of another good candidate, let us know. Volunteer leadership positions within the Grand Canyon Chapter are an ideal way to deepen your involvement in the issues important to you. There are many opportunities and activities, from advocacy for air, water, environmental justice, climate action, and wildlife, to leading hikes, nature walks, service projects, and more.
If you would like to learn more about what would be involved, please contact Sandy Bahr, sandy.bahr@sierraclub.org -- or one of the current volunteer leaders (see pages 2 & 3).
Guidelines for chapter and group executive committee elections are as follows:
- To be listed on the ballot, candidates must submit their names and membership numbers. If you aren’t sure what your membership number is, contact the chapter office at 602-253-9140. Be sure to include contact information along with your submission.
- Submit a candidate statement (recommended but not required) indicating the chapter or group executive committee for which you are running to Nick Arnold at econarnold@gmail.com -- and copy sandy.bahr@sierraclub.org -- no later than August 16, 2024.
Candidate statements are limited to 200 words and must be submitted here: bit.ly/SCAZnomination24 (this link is bad!) You will receive acknowledgment within a few days of submission. (Because much of the executive committee’s business is done by email, candidates must have email capability.) The official ballot will appear in the Fall 2024 Canyon Echo -- and terms begin in January and run for two years.
So go ahead, nominate yourself or someone else you think would be a good leader. Thank you for considering this important work!
