>The Sierra Club's Wildlands Campaign Committee is seeking to fill three
>vacancies, one immediately and two by year end. We are especially
>interested in candidates with experience, expertise, and/or a strong
>interest in wildlands protection and public lands issues.
>
>The Sierra Club Wildlands Campaign Committee oversees one of
>the Sierra Club's four national priority campaigns.  The other priority
>committees are the Clean Water, Healthy Forests and Sprawl Campaigns.
>The central focus of the Wildlands Campaign Committee is to
>energize, support and inform wildlands protection and restoration
>efforts in every state and ecoregion.
>
>Service on the Wildlands Campaign Committee requires a
>genuine commitment of time and energy. Activists who are already
>over-committed--as many of our best leaders are--may have to give

>Committee member. For a better idea of the work we do, please review
>the Wildlands Campaign web site at
>http://www.sierraclub.org/wildlands/.
>Nominees must be current Sierra Club members.
>
>Selection of new committee members will be based on several
>criteria, including: enthusiasm for wildlands activism; relevant areas
>of interest and/or expertise; location; commitment to remain
>active on the committee for at least two years; ability to communicate
>effectively by email and telephone.
>
>Appointments to the Committee are made by the Conservation
>Governance Committee (CGC), based on applications and phone interviews
>with prospective candidates. Interviewers will represent the
>Wildlands Committee and the CGC. If you are interested in applying,

>accepting self-nominations, so please pass this announcement on to others
>you think may have an interest in serving on the Wildlands Campaign
>Committee.
