Rivers Committee Recruitment Announcement 

The Sierra Club's Rivers Committee is looking for
volunteers to serve on the committee and help advance
the club's work on river related issues. 

The Rivers Committee operates as part of the Wild
Planet Strategy Team (WPST). 

The committee currently has seven members and is
looking for at least two additional volunteers.

The mission of the Sierra Club's Rivers Committee is
to provide assistance to volunteers in addressing
river issues, build networks of activists working on
these issues, and coordinate the Club's conservation
efforts on these issues. River issues can include, but
are not limited to: hydro re-licensing, riparian zone
management, river restoration, dam removal, dredging,
locks, wild and scenic river management and
designation (both state and federal programs) and all
related issues. 

In order to carry out these objectives the Rivers
Committee pursues the following: 

1. Developing an activist network and facilitate
information exchange among network members. 

2. Keeping network members informed on legislation and
agency policy matters related to river issues. 

3. Helping develop and implement strategy to deal with
river issues from defensive and proactive positions as
appropriate, including raising the visibility of river
issues in the Club. 

4. Developing contacts with other environmental and
citizen's groups working on river issues where such
contacts would be helpful to activists and further the
Club's agenda. 

Committee members need to be able to evaluate issues
from a variety of viewpoints. Committee business is
conducted primarily via e mail and conference calls. 

To apply, please provide the information requested
below via e-mail by September 30, 2005, to Ed Dobson
