Chapter Calls for ExCom Nominations (2024 Elections)

The Atlantic Chapter Executive Committee (ExCom) sets Sierra Club conservation policy in New York State and administers the Chapter. The Chapter ExCom has Quarterly webinars each year and additionally meets virtually as needed several times a year.
 
Some ExCom members are chosen by their local Groups. Others, the nine at-large delegates, are elected by the Chapter membership statewide for two-year terms. This fall’s election will fill four at-large seats beginning in January 2025.
 
Every member of the Chapter is eligible. If you are interested in running for one of these seats, please let the Nominating Committee (NomCom) know by July 7. Send your name, address, and membership number to the Nominating Committee, Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter, 744  Broadway, Albany, NY 12207 or by e-mail to atlantic.chapter@sierraclub.org. Please include a statement about your qualifications and reasons for running to help the NomCom decide whether to nominate you. The NomCom will notify you by July 31 if they are nominating you as a candidate for at-large delegate. If you need help finding your membership number, email atlantic.chapter@sierraclub.org for assistance.  
 
If you are not nominated by the NomCom, you can become a candidate by filing a petition signed by at least 50 members of the Chapter. The deadline for filing petitions to be a candidate is August 31. The NomCom has the option until September 8 to nominate more candidates. The deadline for all candidates to submit the final version of their ballot statements is September 15.
