We are excited to announce that the 2025 Nominating Committee is now recruiting passionate and talented individuals to run for two open seats on Sierra Club Ohio’s Executive Committee.
Serving on the Executive Committee is a unique opportunity for volunteer leaders to help guide our established Chapter and make a lasting impact on Ohio’s environment. These leaders play a key role in fostering a community of Ohioans committed to creating meaningful change.
Once candidates have been selected by the Nominating Committee, Sierra Club members throughout Ohio will elect leaders to carry forward Sierra Club’s tradition as a grassroots environmental organization.
