The Southeastern Pennsylvania Group (SPG), part of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Sierra Club, is focused on the environmental issues facing the greater Philadelphia area. Our Sierra Club volunteers from Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Bucks counties are working together to maintain and improve the natural resources of the area and protect it for generations to come. Our mission: Explore, Enjoy and Protect the
Planet, is the root of every project we undertake.
SPG Executive Committee meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm on Zoom (until further notice). Contact jim.wylie@verizon.net for info on how to join the call.

Call For SPG Executive Committee Nominations
Nominate yourself or someone you think would be interested and do a good job serving on the SPG Executive Committee (ExCom). Contact Helena at helenagallant33@gmail.com.
In short, this committee is about helping Sierra Club volunteers in the greater Phila area advance their priorities in terms of: environmental protection & education, supporting candidates and legislation that we support, exploring and enjoying the natural world and socializing with other tree huggers.
To accomplish these goals, Sierra Club organizes into Chapters (roughly states) and Groups (regional parts of the Chapter) and elects representatives to an Executive Committee to do a mix of necessary work and exciting and inspirational work. Like:
Administrative tasks: managing funds (our allotment of SC dues and any funds that we raise), documenting meetings (minutes), attending chapter functions (sending a delegate).
Volunteer Support tasks: assigning chairs for various standing committees: newsletter, social media, outings, conservation, political endorsements, fundraising, member support, working with county teams, etc
