Volunteer Board Member Openings

High Country Citizens' Alliance (HCCA) has opportunities for volunteers interested in joining its Board of Directors. HCCA is a Crested Butte, Colorado based non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to champion the protection, conservation and preservation of the natural ecosystems within the Upper Gunnison River Basin. HCCA engages in a variety of local and regional conservation issues including the effort to prevent a mine on Mt. Emmons, protecting the area’s public lands, conserving water resources and transitioning to renewable energy sources. We’d like candidates who have interest and experience in some or all of the following areas: non-profit governance and finance, legal expertise, environmental advocacy or science background and volunteer coordination. We seek individuals willing to actively participate in oversight of the organization’s activities and assist with shaping policy and goals. Familiarity with the Gunnison Basin, local residency and year-round availability are desirable. Please contact Gwen Pettit, Board President at gpspiral@crestedbutte.net if you’d like to join us.

4th of July Parade

It’s time to put on your wildest red - tutus, tuxes, sequins and more.

High Country Citizens’ Alliance invites all children - young and old - locals and visitors alike, to express your support for protecting Red Lady (Mount Emmons) by donning your flashiest red and marching in the 4th of July Parade. Younger children are invited to wear their animal costumes as a reminder of the wildlife we are committed to protecting.

Please help decorate the float by bringing your creativity to the Depot (716 Elk Ave.) on Friday July 2, from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.

To be in the parade simply join us at the Depot, decked out in your best Red, (716 Elk Ave.) on July 4th from 9:00 to 10:45 am. The parade begins at 11:00am.

For more details or to offer your brilliant ideas please contact Susan at 349-7104 or susan@hccaonline.org.
