Help build our expertise coalition, community partnerships, and maintain our advocacy in the broad areas covered by our Climate, Habitat, and Water committees. Your mind and energy are needed.
ECOS also needs your financial support, and becoming a member is a good way to provide it. With your membership, you will receive the ECOS Newsletter, invitations to meetings and presentations, eligibility to serve on ECOS standing committees, to elect the at-large board members, and to vote on changes to the Bylaws.
Our events and spaces are accessible. We are a respectful group and will use the terms and language you have chosen for yourself. We are deeply committed to social, environmental and racial justice, and inclusivity.
