Join Surfrider Santa Barbara's Executive Committee!

By

Executive Committee elections are coming up in November, and self-nominations are open until November 9th.

What is an Executive Committee?

The Executive Committee (EC) is a group of volunteers responsible for running a Surfrider Foundation chapter. They are the most involved members of the chapter who step up to serve in fun and rewarding leadership positions that require consistent efforts through a two-year term. As volunteers, perfection is not expected, but dedication and communication is important. EC members meet regularly to lead and guide decisions for the chapter, discuss and manage chapter business and finances, support events and fundraising efforts, and to build a thriving chapter community of environmental leaders to protect and enjoy our ocean, waves, and beaches! 

Election

Executive Committee members are elected for a two-year term by a vote of active members in November. The candidates with the most votes will become part of the EC for 2027-2028 term starting in the new year. There are five open positions this year.
