The Chapter’s efforts span a range of inter-related activities and fall into one of three primary categories: Conservation, Politics, and Outings.
Conservation
A number of issue committees work on our conservation initiatives. For example if you have an interest in a water issue, chances are that the Water committee addresses it. Our Forest Protection committee works on issues that affect the health of our forests. We also have an overall Conservation Committee, an umbrella organization over all of the issue committees. Click here for a list of our issue committees. If you have questions or are not certain where your issue might lie, please contact our Conservation Committee Chair who can direct you to someone to contact, or assist you with starting up your own issue committee.
Politics
Our political activities are primarily directed by the Political committee. The committee is responsible for all endorsement activities, and for supporting candidates we have endorsed. We also try to maintain contact with all of our legislators, developing relationships with them and educating them when necessary. To find out more about our political activities see the Politics page.
Outings
Outings are the lifeblood of the Loma Prieta Chapter. We have many different activity sections for different outdoor activities, from hiking to skiing . The hiking sections differ based on the difficulty of hikes, the ages of the hikers, and other factors. All of the sections have a social component, with additional activities such as pot luck dinners. Some sections have more of an emphasis on the social component than others. See the Outings page to get started!
