Role: Executive Committee Member<br />

Location: Atlantic Canada / Nova Scotia / New Brunswick / PEI<br />
<br />
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS<br />
<br />
for the Executive Committee of the Sierra Club Canada Foundation – Atlantic Canada Chapter (SCCF-ACC)<br />
<br />
We are gathering people interested in serving on the Executive Committee of the Chapter (Executive Committee, Ex Com for short). These are the people who will lead our chapter and make decisions on everything from what campaigns we take on in our region to building capacity by growing our member and supporter base to where to hold our annual meeting. We need your help in finding the right people to lead our chapter.<br />
<br />
The Atlantic Canada Chapter has members in all four Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), the territories of Innus (Montagnais), Nunatsiavut, NunatuKavut, Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy), and Wolastokuk (Maliseet).<br />
<br />
Its activities include nature immersion and forest school programming (Wild Child), wildlife protection and collision prevention (Watch for Wildlife), stopping offshore oil and gas development in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and protecting marine life, reducing the impacts of mines and quarries on the environment and communities, and engaging in energy policy and solutions with the aim of addressing climate change.<br />
<br />
All members are invited to make a nomination of any member (including yourself) to be a candidate for positions on the Executive Committee of the SCCF-ACC. Nominations will be used by the nominations committee to put together a slate of candidates for this year.<br />
<br />
The term of office for these positions will be two years, and is limited to three consecutive two-year terms (i.e. 6 years). On a practical level, being an Ex Com member means taking part in at least 10 meetings per year. These are usually about once per month (most by conference call) to organize and run the activities of the SCC-ACC, including the Annual General Gathering.<br />
<br />
This may also involve taking on a position as an officer (Treasurer, Secretary) and/or chair of a committee, and there will be continuous opportunity to be active in various campaigns and projects.<br />
<br />
As described in our bylaws and Chapter Policy, the Executive Committee comprises the volunteer leadership of its Chapter, and acts as the decision-making body for the Chapters, and in accordance with overall policies of the Sierra Club Canada Foundation and cooperation with its Board of Directors and National Staff.<br />
<br />
Specifically, as outlined on our bylaws, the Ex Com is responsible for:<br />
<br />
a) compliance with the by-laws and policies of the Sierra Club Canada Foundation;<br />
<br />
b) engaging in any such activities within the territorial area which further the interests or objects of the Corporation, including the operation conservation or environmental programs, and media outreach;<br />
<br />
c) developing a budget and raising funds for its own operations, as needed, and contributing to annual fundraising efforts; and<br />
<br />
d) coordinating its activities through Staff, members and volunteers.<br />
<br />
Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 is the deadline for receipt of names for candidates to be considered by the Nominations Committee.<br />
