Fellow Sierrans, The nominating committee for the statewide Iowa Chapter Executive Committee would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest names of potential candidates that we could contact to see if they would consider putting their name on the ballot. (And the election of someone from your area to the committee could make your meeting commute more enjoyable!) Comments I've heard as to what the Iowa Chapter is wanting from nominees: that they share our Sierra Club goals, are willing to attend meetings (four per year, mostly in the Des Moines Area) and participate in scheduled conference calls on a regular basis; give attention to messages on the list serve; and participate actively in the activities and efforts of the Chapter. And it would be great to expand the diversity of the ExCom. We have five openings for the ballot, and more candidates would be good. A person must be a Sierra Club member to serve and a name will not be placed on the ballot unless/until they are a member. Please give this your consideration and let us know your suggestions as soon as possible. Thanks The Nominating Committee -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe from the IOWA-TOPICS list, send any message to: [log in to unmask] Check out our Listserv Lists support site for more information: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/faq.asp Sign up to receive Sierra Club Insider, the flagship e-newsletter.
