Welcome to the 2023 Board of Directors Election hub. Here you'll find information about the election and resources to help you get to know the candidates. We've also included everything you need about how to cast your vote.
Each year, 5 of the 15 members of the Sierra Club Board of Directors end their three-year term. A list of candidates is selected by a combination of a nominations process and a petition process. Sierra Club members have the opportunity to vote on 5 candidates to fill the empty seats.
This year’s ballot has seven nominated candidates. There are no candidates running on petition.
To be eligible to vote, you must have been a Sierra Club member for at least one year as of January 31st, 2023. If you joined Sierra Club less than a year ago, you will be eligible to vote next year.
Please use the information and resources provided here to aid in your decision-making. Consider all of the candidates, consider all of the topics that matter to you, and cast your vote by April 26th at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
