Conservation Activists

The Sierra Club is a membership organization of volunteers. Elected volunteers lead the Sierra Club, setting Club policy and positions. Volunteers use the democratic process and work through committees to set direction. Volunteers are also responsible for establishing strategic campaign priorities and organizational goals.

Each Group, Section, Committee should have a Conservation Chair. Click for list of groups and sections; read about their opportunities.

Conservation Committees

The Angeles Chapter’s elected environmental leadership meets in a monthly forum as the Chapter or the Orange County Conservation Committees. Made up of volunteer activists, they make decisions about what action the Sierra Club will take to protect the environment in the Chapter’s territory of Los Angeles
and Orange Counties. All Sierra Club meetings are open to Sierra Club members.

The Conservation Committees are
the umbrella committees overseeing many issue subcommittees, task forces, and campaigns. Visit our environmental campaigns page to
see what we’re working on.
