CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Environmental Partnerships Program Committee

The Sierra Club?s Environmental Partnerships Program Committee is currently
looking for new members.
The goal of the Partnerships Program is to broaden the base of active
support for environmental protection in the U.S. To achieve this goal, we
work with a variety of allies including hunters, anglers, faith groups,
labor unions, communities, and others.

Our objectives are to:

1. Build long-term trusting relationships with the leadership and
grassroots of a diverse group of strategically selected communities and
constituencies.
2. Identify constituencies and communities with which we currently have
common ground and facilitate working relationships with them at the local,
regional and national levels.

Committee responsibilities include:

1. Participating in monthly conference calls.
2. Helping with annual program planning, including prioritizing
constituencies, strategies, and media markets.
3. Helping develop constituency outreach ideas.
4. Working on specific internal committee tasks such as evaluating funding
requests from chapters and groups, promoting the program at all levels of
the Sierra Club, identifying Club activists who are affiliated with or
knowledgeable about particular constituencies.
5. Working on specific external committee projects with other
constituencies and communities.

If you would like to serve on our committee, please complete the
application below and send it to Connie Wilbert by email
([log in to unmask]) or by mail (705 S. 22nd St., Laramie WY 82070). If
you know someone else who you think would be a good candidate, please
forward this message to them and also send their name and contact
information to Connie Wilbert. Please share this message broadly within the
Sierra Club.

The deadline for completed applications is October 31, 2006.

Current volunteer members of the committee are Connie Wilbert (WY, Chair),
Ross Vincent (CO), Alejandro Queral (OR), Nancy Rauch (PA), and Robin Mann
(PA, Conservation Governance Committee (CGC) liaison). The CGC will appoint
new members to a two-year term, and appointees may be reappointed twice
more for a total of up to six consecutive years on the committee.
