It's that time of year again -- chapter elections!
Every November, our chapter hosts elections for our volunteer Executive Committee. This committee is made up of five core positions, and once those are filled, additional roles can be created as long as we maintain an odd number of members.
What does it mean to be an Executive Committee member? These are the most involved members of our chapter. They make a two-year commitment to serve on our Executive Committee. They meet regularly, lead and guide decisions for the chapter, and support our events and fundraisers. They are dedicated to advancing our chapter as our key environmental leaders!
A new member to the committee can choose a specific position right away, or they have the option to join as a general member at first, and can choose a more specific role later. Examples of roles we would love to add to our committee include:
- Beach Cleanup Coordinator
- Campaigns Coordinator
- Communications Coordinator
- Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisor
- Fundraising Coordinator
...or something else that fits!
We are planning our in-person elections at our next chapter meeting - stay tuned! Information will be added here once confirmed.
