Conservation Committee
The Conservation Committee, chaired by Dale Olen, brings together a group of
volunteers who review environmental issues, prioritize those issues and
recommend which issues the Great
Waters Group (GWG) should act on, and formulate position statements for the
Executive Committee to adopt and present to the public.
The focus areas each have their own committee and
the chairs of each make up the Conservation Committee. These Committees help
to keep our GWG members up-to-date on
local and global environmental issues.
The chairs of the four Committee's are as follows:
• Global Warming & Energy (John Bahr, Chair)
• Water (Dale Olen, Chair)
• Parks & Land Habitat (Michael Sebzda, Chair)
• Transportation & Sustainable Growth (Bill Moore)
Michael Sebzda also represents the Sierra Club at the monthly meetings of the
Milwaukee County Conservation Coalition (MCCC or MC3), a group of local
environmental organizations working together on specific issues.
Conservation Volunteers Are Needed
We need volunteer members to help our four sub-chairs stay abreast of
the issues that continually change. Specifically we need help by attending public
meetings, keeping up on news, helping to keep our website current, and
supporting issue campaigns at
appropriate times. We welcome anyone with an interest who is willing to
offer any amount of time.
If you are interested in
doing something about conservation and environmental issues, please contact Dale
Olen at daleolen@sbcglobal.net or by phone at 262-255-3628.
You are welcome to attend any Conservation Committee meeting to learn about what
they are doing and how you can get involved as a volunteer.
Additional information about volunteering can be found
on our
Volunteer page.
