The Results From the 2022 Board of Director Election Are In

Congratulations to Cheyenne Skye Branscum, Allison Chin, Michael Dorsey, Cynthia Hoyle, and Aaron Mair on their election to three-year terms on the Sierra Club’s Board of Directors. The new Board is eager to bring to life the vision in our

2030 strategic framework and pursue the recently adopted

five core values of our organization. This year, they will also be tasked with selecting our new Executive Director.


We are particularly excited to celebrate that this is the first majority-female Board of Directors in Sierra Club history, and the Board with the highest number of leaders who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC). Cheyenne Skye Branscum will be the first Tribal citizen on the Sierra Club's Board of Directors.


Thank you to Brian Gomez for his service on the board this past year, as well as to the Board members whose terms are ending: Mike O’Brien, Oliver Bernstein, and Dave Scott.
