We are looking for people to join our Executive Committee! The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) Potomac Chapter is a part of the nonprofit AMC with 11 chapters from Virginia to Maine. The organization works on conservation issues, utilizes volunteer leaders to lead a variety of outdoor activities and trips from local walks to overnight backpacking to canoeing and kayaking, bicycling, trail maintenance, and other activities. We bring people together to enjoy the outdoors at whatever level they are. Individuals and families can participate. We are looking for Activity Chairs to help coordinate our conservation efforts, outreach to families, outreach to affinity groups, and various activity areas. We meet once/month online and coordinate a few Chapter-wide events during the year.

Mission Statement
Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club is America's oldest nonprofit conservation and recreation organization. We promote the protection, enjoyment, and wise use of the mountains, rivers, and trails of the Appalachian region. We believe that the mountains and rivers have an intrinsic worth and also provide recreational opportunity, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region. We encourage people to enjoy and appreciate the natural world because we believe that successful conservation depends on this experience.
