The Missouri Chapter is seeking persons to run for the 2008 Executive Committee (ExCom). The ExCom manages the Chapter finances and budget; takes care of Chapter business having to do with office, staff, and correspondence; endorses political candidates after recommendations from the Chapter Political Committee; ensures that the Chapter committees have leadership; and sets direction for the Sierra Club in Missouri. The ExCom meets once every two months in cities across Missouri. ExCom members strongly support the Sierra Club mission to “Explore, enjoy, and protect the planet.”
Of the current members elected at large, Byron Combs, Ginger Harris, and Leslie Lihou continue in office. That leaves five members to be elected this year for two year terms. Also one person will be elected to fill one remaining year of a seat that was vacated by resignation.
