Orange-Chatham Group and Committee Meetings

Group Meetings

The Orange-Chatham Group meets once a month for a short talk, followed by discussion and refreshments. Visitors are always welcome! Our meetings are informal, and topics range from current environmental issues, to tales of travel to faraway places, to locally relevant political issues. We typically meet on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m., but alternative locations will be noted on the homepage and in the newsletter. Meetings are not usually held in June, July, or August. See our current meetings listings on our homepage.

Political Committee

Political aficionados! Each election season, the Orange-Chatham Group’s political committee reviews candidates for local offices and recommends endorsements to the state chapter. We Sierrans have a wonderful opportunity to influence the local elections and to help elect local people who have an environmental bent, but to do so requires that our political committee be sufficiently large so that the committee's endorsements are not looked upon as just being those candidates who are favored by a few. If you are a Sierra Club member with an interest in local elections and want to get involved in the political committee, contact our political chair, Jason Baker.

Conservation Committee

So much environment, so little person power! If you want to get involved, contact the Conservation Committee Chairperson.

Conservation is one of the three major activities in our group (along with outings and political endorsements). Our Conservation Committee focuses on environmental priority issues in our area and organizes action plans for those issues. We welcome involvement from other Sierra Club members who have an interest in taking action to help our local environment. There are lots of ways to be involved -- from attending meetings and sharing ideas, to hosting house parties, speaking at public hearings, and many more.

Executive Committee

This is the group that decides the Orange Chatham group's priority issues, votes to approve positions on issues, and oversees group operations. Members are elected to two-year terms by a mail/online vote of Orange-Chatham group members. We meet the second Monday of every month at 7:00. Locations vary; check homepage or newsletter for current location, or contact one of our group co-chairs.
