Committees of the San Francisco Bay Chapter
For a complete list of committee members see the Leadership Roster.
Executive Committee
Our chapter's Executive Committee has seventeen voting members, including nine at-large members and one from each of the local
groups' Executive Committees. Each fall, Chapter members elect volunteers to the chapter and group Executive Committees.
Activities Committee
The Activities Committee provides oversight for the chapter's diverse outings programs. All activity sections and regional groups may
appoint delegates to the Activities Committee, which advises the Chapter's Executive Committee on outings-related policy. Chapter
members are welcome to attend ActCom meetings (call the chapter office to confirm place and time of meeting). See
Activities sections for details on the various activities sections and links to
their web pages.
Conservation committees and subcommittees
Conservation committees and subcommittees provide leadership, direction, and guidance on conservation issues for the chapter and its
local groups. The committee members are volunteers working on our conservation campaigns. Several local groups have conservation
committees. In other groups, a single person, the Conservation Chair, performs a similar function. To see which group area you live in,
or for links to group web pages, see Local groups.
Conservation Committee
The San Francisco Bay Chapter's Conservation Committee guides the chapter's conservation policy and makes recommendations to the San
Francisco Bay Chapter Executive Committee and to Sierra Club entities at the regional, state, and national levels.
Focusing on local conservation issues and advocacy, the Conservation Committee is comprised of the volunteers who chair our
conservation subcommittees and task forces, delegates from the chapter's eight regional groups, and chapter members. All chapter members
are welcome at these meetings, usually held on the first Thursday of the month. (Please call to confirm the date and location.)

The Conservation Committee has eight subcommittees, each dealing with a different conservation issue:
- East Bay Public Lands
- Energy

To get involved or for more information, you can contact the Chapter Conservation Committee
Chair or one of the subcommittee chairs. Full contact information for all Bay Chapter committees
