Why is voting in Club board of directors elections so important?
The Sierra Club is a democratically structured organization that requires the regular flow of views on policy and priorities from its grassroots membership in order to function well. Yearly participation in elections at all Club levels is a major membership duty. Your board of directors, which is required to stand for election by the membership, sets Club policy and budgets at the national level and works closely with the staff to run the Club. Voting for candidates who express your views on how the Club should grow and change is both a privilege and responsibility of membership.
