After observing the negative impacts of industry pollution on primarily poor and minority communities along the Gulf Coast, Jerome Ringo became a vocal advocate for clean energy as well as increased minority participation in the environmental movement. Ringo has served as board chair for the National Wildlife Federation, was a representative at the 1999 United Nations Sustainable Development Conference, took part in the 1998 Kyoto Treaty negotiations, and appeared in the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. He currently serves on the board of directors at Apollo Alliance and is the Senior Executive for Global Strategies with Green Port.
The keynote address is free and open to the public. Advance registration for the other symposium activities is encouraged and free for Iowa State University students, faculty and staff: www.livegreen.iastate.edu/symposium/2011/
