The West Los Angeles Group is managed by a dynamic team of activists who work to make a difference in our community by advocating for Sierra Club values and priorities. These activities may include social media, conservation efforts, outings, political work, membership services, and sound financial management.

Executive Committee members are selected by popular vote of Sierra Club members living in the communities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Malibu, Santa Monica, and West Los Angeles

As leaders and decision makers of the West Los Angeles Group, it is important for Executive Committee members to contribute to the Group's perspectives on a wide range of issues of concern to the Sierra Club including environmental protection, social and environmental justice. For the Group to thrive, it depends on an Executive Committee whose members are actively working to ensure the health and success of the Group.

The Sierra Club's mission: To explore, enjoy and protect the planet. To practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out those objectives.A healthy Group is essential to support it's efforts to protect, preserve, and enjoy the environment.
