Jordan Howard will be honored with the Youth Trailblazer Award at the 2015 Women In Green Forum

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Aug. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- The 6^th annual Women In Green Forum, scheduled for August 26^th at the TreePeople Conference Center in Los Angeles, CA has just announced that Jordan Howard will be honored with the Women In Green Youth Trailblazer Award. Jordan will be recognized for her outstanding impact in sustainability, youth engagement, education, and politics.

Since her teen years, Jordan has dedicated her time and energy working to ensure that young people have a seat at the table.  At the age of 23, Jordan has developed strategies and advises brands on innovative ways to educate, engage, and activate youth to solve global issues.  Alliance for Climate Education, United Nations Foundation, The U.S. State Department, Hulu and Dell are some of the brands she has partnered with over the years.  Whether it’s developing curriculum to teach the science of climate change, creating STEM programs for teen girls and working with city government to engage youth, Jordan has done it.  Ebony Magazine named her Ebony’s Power 100, as one of the most influential African Americans.  Jordan has been featured as an expert in the New York Times, ABC, NBC, FOX, GOOD, and the book Girls Gone Green.  From Opening events for Hillary Clinton to teaching pre-teens across India, Jordan’s journey to spark change among millennials around the world is only beginning.

"I have watched Jordan blossom from her early days as a student environmental leader through her teaching those not much younger than she, with all her accumulated wisdom and poise as a pubic speaker,” said Lisa Boyle, an environmental attorney and consultant.  “Jordan is so effective because she is real.  She is young, passionate, well informed and able to communicate to young people in a way that is inspiring and fun.  Jordan is totally cool in every way, from her cultural sophistication, to her sense of adventure, to the way she relates to all people with ease, grace, and a sense of our shared humanity.   If I were on a deserted island, I would pick Jordan on my survival team because she has the skills, and I know I would not only survive, but also have fun and learn something before we were rescued."

In addition to the award presentation, the 2015 Women In Green Forum - themed “Tomorrow By Design” - will feature a dynamic lineup of panels and keynote presentations, with speakers representing the White House, the Government of Mexico, Honda, Gensler, Lyft, and WakaWaka North America. The Forum will also feature outdoor workshops, eco product giveaways, and a ride & drive showcasing the UNI-CUB, a brand new personal mobility device from Honda.
