Rob was recently elected Chair of the Sierra Club‘s Columbia Group Political Committee and is also serving as the Compliance Office for the statewide chapter of the Sierra Club.  He is grateful for the opportunity to further the Sierra Club’s mission and particularly that the organization is leading the way on the effort to prevent climate change and move toward a clean energy economy.  Founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1892, the Sierra Club is now the nation’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization — with more than two million members and supporters.  Its successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act.
