Through public advocacy and strategic partnerships, Kim works to empower women, raise public awareness of reproductive health and promote youth leadership, and decrease wasteful resource consumption. The program is expanding in the new year -- keep an eye out for updates from Kim and the program!

Ilana Solomon
Representative, Trade Program

Ilana joined the Sierra Club this past year as its trade representative after working to confront climate change as a policy analyst with ActionAid USA. She was even named one of “40 under 40 International Development Leaders” in that position! Since joining the Sierra Club, she has focused heavily on ensuring that the U.S. acts responsibly and considers the environment and workers’ rights when joining and negotiating any proposed trade pact. One such pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has been in the works for a number of years, and Ilana has represented the Sierra Club at negotiating rounds throughout the year.

In 2013, Ilana will keep us updated on the progress of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and any other times when the environment and trade issues intersect via her Huffington Post column, on Sierra Club’s Compass, and on Twitter.
