Recruitment Announcement -- America's Wild Legacy Conservation Initiative
Committee

The Conservation Governance Committee (CGC) seeks to appoint three
additional members to the America's Wild Legacy Conservation Initiative
Committee (AWL). If you would like to nominate yourself for appointment
please complete and return the application below by March 30, 2007.

AWL works to create an overarching conservation initiative for the Sierra
Club that focuses on three areas of national concern: protect wild and
special places, protect wildlife and wildlife habitat, and stop destructive
energy development on public lands.  In the course of its work, AWL funds
projects and establishes project teams to implement conservation efforts
within the Sierra Club that advance its campaign framework and are national
in scope or have national significance.

This committee coordinates with the Wild Planet Strategy Team and its
subcommittees and attempts to integrate its work with our Smart Energy
Solutions and Safe and Healthy Communities Conservation Initiatives.

Candidates for AWL must possess at least general knowledge of public lands,
wildlife, habitat or lands and energy interface issues as well as project
management skills.  We especially seek applicants with expertise in
conservation biology or public land energy interface issues.

Familiarity with Sierra Club policies and processes at the national level
are desired attributes. Candidates should have good management and social
skills, as well as political and strategic judgment. Nominees must be
current Sierra Club members residing in the United States.

Sierra Club of Canada (SCC) members are not eligible to apply to this
announcement. Please contact [log in to unmask]  for information on the
criteria required for SCC members to be appointed as liaisons or members to
CGC and its subentities.

Ability and willingness to use electronic mail and to participate in
conference calls (generally in the evening) are required as well as the
ability to travel occasionally to meetings or conferences. Candidates need
to consider their ability to contribute time and effort to AWL
participation and project team management in addition to their ongoing
commitments.

If you are interested in applying, please read and follow the instructions
completely. We are only accepting self-nominations, so, please, pass this
announcement on to others you think may have an interest.
Appointments to the AWL will be made by the CGC, based on applications and
