Subject: CGC Opening -- Final Notice




 SEEKING APPLICATIONS FOR NEW MEMBER OF THE CONSERVATION GOVERNANCE
COMMITTEE

This is a re-posting of a previous notice.  Applicants who responded to
that notice do not need to reapply.

Deadline for applications:  April 1, 2006

The Conservation Governance Committee (CGC) is soliciting applications
immediately for one position on the committee (see application below).  If
you know of someone else who is well-qualified, please feel free to forward
this application and encourage them to apply.

It is expected that an appointment to the twelve-person CGC will
be made by the Board of Directors on its April 20 conference call.

Desirable qualifications of potential appointees include (but are not
limited to): broad experience across a diversity of conservation issues;
understanding of the Club's conservation infrastructure; ability to
communicate and interact effectively with volunteer leaders; and time to
commit to the CGC, including attendance at up to three face-to-face
meetings per year, participation in at least monthly conference calls, and
time between meetings to conduct CGC business.

Sierra Club of Canada (SCC) members are not eligible to apply to this
announcement.

The CGC is one of six governance committees formed during the Club's
restructuring in 1994. The CGC implements, oversees, and coordinates the
Sierra Club's conservation work with primary focus at the national level.
It makes recommendations to the Board of Directors about the Club's
conservation policies and priorities, and attempts to resolve controversies
about the
interpretation of conservation policies and conflicts between national and
local
policies.  CGC works with the Club's other governance committees and
Council of Club Leaders.  It oversees fifteen conservation entities
directly, and it indirectly oversees all of their subentities.

The current members of the CGC include the following:
Bernie Zaleha (CGC Chair), Judy Kunofsky (CGC Vice Chair), Jim Catlin
(Board Appt), Doris Cellarius, Jim Dougherty (Board Appt), Michael Gregory,
Doug
LaFollette (Board Appt), Jan O'Connell (Board Appt), David Scott, Jerry
Sutherland,
René Voss (Budget Manager), and Bruce Hamilton (Conservation Director of
the Sierra Club).

The CGC oversees entities that coordinate work in three broad types,
consisting of conservation issues, the Club's political program, and the
regional
conservation structures.

Thank you for your interest.

David Scott, Search Committee Chair
