> EXPECTATIONS OF CONSERVATION INITIATIVE
> COMMITTEES:
>
> Conservation Initiative Committees are
> composed of 5-9 volunteers and
> assigned staff. Each initiative committee has
> a workplan including
> action objectives and policy outcomes covering
> the broad issue areas
> identified by the Conservation Governance

> chapters, groups and other
> Club entities to assemble teams which will
> develop and implement
> projects to carry out the elements of the
> initiative plan.

> The initiative committees are not expected to
> carry out the projects
> themselves. They identify strategic
> opportunities and then work with
> the relevant Sierra Club entities to assemble
> work teams to put

> carry them out. They then
> evaluate the projects that are funded and
> report back results to the
> CGC and the Board.
