“I volunteer as Chair because I want to continue the collaborative and cooperative mindset of our Chapter in environmental conservation, along with building a foundation of social and environmental justice in the communities where we work! ”
Tina Davis
Toiyabe Chapter Executive Committee Chair
“I volunteer for Sierra Club because I want to do something about climate change and corporate polluters. Sierra Club has a strong track record of protecting our environment and I love being a part of it. As a working father of two young daughters, I also enjoy that Sierra Club's staff and volunteer network are understanding and provide great opportunities that work for my schedule. ”

“I shine a light on harms to the environment, sound the alarm, and push back on the ones that I can. I'm a volunteer, but I do this because nature is too precious to lose.”
Lynn Boulton
Range of Light Group Executive Committee Chair
"Lake Tahoe is a National Treasure. Although I started my volunteer work with the Toiyabe Chapter, the issues facing the Tahoe Basin have motivated some of my most fervent endeavors. Just as climbing mountains offer incredible rewards and inspiration but are sometimes a struggle, hopefully efforts to help preserve the lake and basin will be successful.”
Tobi Tyler
Tahoe Area Group Executive Committee Vice Chair and past Chair of the Toiyabe Chapter Political Committee
"I began volunteering with Sierra Club Inspiring Connections Outdoors (ICO) in 1979 by leading a high school outing club supported by ICO. My students over those seven years of monthly trips are still friends today. I even met my wife through ICO! For the past year, I have worked with a dedicated group of volunteers to start Reno ICO and in January 2023, 30 Reno youth will go snowshoeing on our first ICO trip. The next generation gets started in the outdoors!”
Rob Schamberg
Reno Inspiring Connections Outdoors Chair
“I was a volunteer before being hired by Sierra Club. I wanted to work here because of the great experience I had as a volunteer. Sierra Club volunteers are the crux of the climate change movement and I wanted my professional experiences to further those causes.”
Richa Pandhi
Sierra Club Chapter Accounting Analyst and Southern Nevada Group Treasurer
“We have a great team of volunteers that work hard and get things done. We helped get Avi Kwa Ame (Spirit Mountain) to become a National Monument, we have worked on many different environmental issues (climate, water, etc.), promoted conservation advocates, and much more.”

Southern Nevada Group Executive Committee Vice Chair
“I wear a lot of volunteer hats in the Toiyabe Chapter, but I have always very much enjoyed working with the Political Committee (PolCom). Working on the PolCom is a great way to get to know lots of wonderful people AND learn more about the issues affecting the communities we live in! It will take political power to mitigate climate change. Please join us; it feels great to know that you are making a difference!”
Janet Carter
Toiyabe Chapter and Southern Nevada Group Secretary, Las Vegas ICO Chair, and member of the Political, Legislative, and Clean Transportation for All Committees
“Addressing the enormous and complex local environmental issues not only takes a commitment of time but also funding. Being a monthly donor allows me to make my financial support with no effort on my part or the Chapter’s. These automatic, recurring donations provide the steady cash flow that supports the vital work done by our volunteers of the Toiyabe Chapter, our four regional Groups and our two Inspiring Connections Outdoor Groups. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with these dedicated volunteers, they give me hope for the future.”
