Jocelyn Benson honored by Sierra Club

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was selected as Sierra Club’s 2020 Environmentalist of the Year in Michigan for her  work in safeguarding democracy during this year’s  elections. 

The award is Michigan Sierra Club’s highest honor and for the first time in its 30-year history it recognizes the critical importance of elections and voting in protecting the state’s environment.  

Sierra Club Michigan Chapter also is honoring more than a dozen other Sierra Club volunteers for their contributions; and recognized the non-profit news site, Michigan Advance, with the 2020 Environmental Journalism Award for the Advance’s outstanding reporting on the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline controversy.

“In this most challenging of years, it is particularly important to honor those among us who overcome all obstacles and stand out in protecting our Great Lakes environment,” said Gail Philbin, Sierra Club Michigan Chapter Director. “They are Michigan heroes and we are grateful for what they do day in and day out to ensure our state is a better place.”
