The Executive Committee (ExCom) is the governing committee of the Sierra Club North Star Chapter. The ExCom has overall responsibility for strategic planning and budgeting; establishing and overseeing the subcommittees that plan and implement the conservation campaigns, electoral efforts, communications, and outdoor activities; and co-managing the State Director.
Accepting Nominations for Terms Beginning 2027
The ExCom is made up of fifteen at-large elected Sierra Club members in Minnesota. Any current member is eligible to run. Members are elected for a rotating three-year term, and those elected at the end of this year will begin their terms in January 2027. We invite you to submit names to the Nominations Committee for consideration by August 15, 2026.
Members who are not nominated by the committee can petition for candidacy with the signature of 25 members if submitted by the petition deadline.
