Statements of Support from Sierra Club members
“If we all had the energy, focus and resolve of Shruti Bhatnagar, we would more quickly defeat the forces of climate denialism and environmental destruction. She is a major asset as a Member of the National Board of the Sierra Club, and I will be proudly voting for her election again. I am delighted to recommend her to you.” - Congressman Jamie Raskin, Sierra Club member (Maryland)
"Shruti brings both strategic insight and emotional intelligence into the room—qualities that are essential when navigating the complexity of a national organization powered by volunteers, staff, and chapters across the country. She listens deeply, particularly to voices that are too often marginalized, and approaches governance with curiosity, humility, and a genuine commitment to collective leadership. Whether we are debating resolutions, refining equity-centered policy, or clarifying decision-making processes, Shruti shows up with steadiness, integrity, and a clear focus on mission. The Sierra Club needs Board members who understand the urgency of this political and climate moment while remaining rooted in the wisdom, experience, and leadership of our volunteers. Shruti does both. Her leadership strengthens the organization today and helps build the foundation for a more accountable, just, and effective Sierra Club moving forward. For these reasons, I am proud to endorse Shruti for reelection and encourage members to support her continued service on the Board." - Erica Hall, Vice President of Chapters, Groups & Volunteers.
