              Previously she led member and community affairs for the Columbus Partnership, CEO organization representing the largest employers in Central Ohio focused on improving the economic prosperity for the region.  In that role she drove the thought leadership agenda for the region’s business community and advanced community impact initiatives.  One of which was the formation of Columbus’ Student Engagement Strategy, a first of its kind initiative focused on retaining Ohio State students post-graduation with innovative programming and community engagement.  

               

              In the community, Jordan is Co-founder of the Central Ohio Leadership Academy and member of the board for Columbus School for Girls.

Her current projects include Westerville's Strategic Mobility Plan, along with signage, intersection, signals, speed limit, and multi-mode integration management.
