What are three simple things you can do for our environment and community this month?
1. Refuse the plastic water bottle next time it's offered
2. Check out a new food with a lower carbon footprint
3. Vote for the Chapter leaders you think can best help us achieve positive change!
All members of the Sierra Club who live in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, or Marin Counties, and who were registered as a member of record in the Club database as of November 1st, can — and are encouraged to — vote. Each Bay Chapter member can vote in the chapter-wide Executive Committee election and in the election for the Executive Committee of their local group.
Voting is now open through November 30th! You may choose to vote by paper ballot or online. Paper ballots were sent out with the Winter 2021-22 Yodeler, and a link to the online ballot was emailed to all members whose email addresses we have on file. If you do not receive this email but wish to vote electronically, click here. If we receive both electronic and paper ballots for the same membership number, only the electronic ballot will be counted.
Learn more about those running for chapter leadership via their Candidate Statements, and you can also join our virtual Chapter Elections events on November 9th and 10th to ask them any questions you may have and learn all about the 2021 election. Register using the links below:
