The Connecticut Chapter has a volunteer leadership board called the Executive Committee (ExCom), which oversees and approves the work of staff, committees, and groups. Nominations from our at-large membership for open seats on the ExCom can be submitted to the Nominating Committee until October 1, 2025 for the annual autumn election.

 

The Sierra Club is unusual in the nonprofit realm in that much of the work is volunteer driven. Members in good standing have the opportunity to nominate themselves or another Sierra Club member for a two year term on the ExCom, beginning January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2027. The Connecticut Chapter is intentionally recruiting women, youth, people of color, and non-binary folks, as we challenge ourselves to become an inclusive and more representative organization.  

Send your Connecticut Chapter ExCom nomination or questions to Dennis Desmarais.

 

The Greater Hartford Group and the Shoreline Group are also seeking nominations for their ExComs. Contact Steve Lewis for the Greater Hartford Group nominations and Jody Kaplan for the Shoreline Group nominations.

​

Interested but not ready for a leadership role? Many of our Volunteer leaders start by joining a Committee, such as Wildlife or Conservation. It doesn’t take long to get involved with a friendly group who share your passion for the environment. We need you!
