As a membership-based climbers’ advocacy organization, ACSD’s members are critical in bringing new ideas, questions, and issues to light. More members give ACSD more power and ability to accomplish our goals. Members enhance the organization by providing new and professional skills, and contacts with relevant agencies and experts. Members also volunteer for all types of roles, such as trail-work, restoration and cleanups, fundraising, and letter writing campaigns. Members who contribute to the organization through these efforts become the only members with voting rights during Board Officer Elections’ thereby ensuring that those who take the time to roll up their sleeves are the same people who have the right to influence the direction of the organization.
