We are an all-volunteer organization, from our Chair to the Hike Leaders to our newsletter editors. The Rogue Group is very proud of our hardworking volunteers, because without them we wouldn’t exist. Volunteer committees provide the direction for our work.

The Executive Committee (ExCom) is an eleven-member “board” and is elected by Group membership. The ExCom oversees a number of administrative committees that help the Group “take care of business.”

The Conservation Coordinators are appointed by the ExCom and support the committees working on specific conservation issues.
