Statement of Barbara Reber I would like to represent the members of the Angeles Chapter on the EXComm. As an active member of the DPS,SPS, and HPS for 10 years I feel I could adequately represent the activities interests. Last year only 4% of the members voted. This year the ballot will be separate from the Southern Sierran. This may or may not generate more voter interest. I urge all of you that wish a voice in the Angeles Chapter EXComm to VOTE in this election.

RON JONES - Nominee for ExComm

I urge all DPS members to vote in the October election for the Angeles Chapter Executive Committee (ExComm) and to ask their "non-outings" Sierra Club friends to vote as well. There are three outings activity persons running for ExComm this year; Barbara Reber, Bill Bradley and myself. We need all possible support to get elected in order to exchange the ideas and programs of the ExComm with the DPS and other outings groups. I have been a member of the Sierra Club for more than 22 years, joining the Angeles Chapter and becoming a member and leader in the DPS, SPS, RCS and HPS during the following years. In this time I have been a strong supporter of most of the environmental and conservation actions of the Club and I would like now to work more actively in that area of endeavor. As many of you know, I am a past Chairman of the DPS, three times elected to the Management Committee and my desert environmental awareness includes living (and enjoying it) in Crow Canyon between Trona and Death Valley for more than 3 years. I believe that the Sierra Club, in order to retain its present membership and attract new members, should maintain its present diverse high level of quality outings activities and build an even stronger program of conservation awareness. Please vote on your new-style ballot in October.

--Ron Jones

STATEMENT OF BILL BRADLEY

I would. like to see a more workable relationship developed between the grass roots membership, as represented by the Chapter Council, and the Executive Committee. My background of experience in working with various Groups and Sections as well as serving three different terms as Council Representative should aid in this respect. More time and effort should be spent on those conservation issues closer to home and directly affecting us rather than broader spectrum issues of essentially international interest.
