Would you like to get more involved with the Piasa Palisades Group? Consider contributing your talents on the Executive Committee! The Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for the upcoming election of our Executive Committee. 

The Executive Committee is a board of nine volunteers who work as a team to keep our group organized. The functions of the Executive Committee include coordinating on environmental issues, shaping policies, and planning events. Conservation, outings, politics, membership, and fundraising are some of the specializations. 

Members of the Executive Committee serve two-year terms. They meet the third Monday of every month from 7-9 p.m. in the Sierra Club office. 

If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining the team, please contact Laura Asher by e-mail, by phone at 415.754.8586, or in person.
