Liz Howard joined the Mountain Association in Fall 2024. In her role as Energy Program Assistant, she guides businesses, nonprofits and communities through their energy savings projects from start to finish. Liz’s bread and butter has always been working with local small businesses – specifically through management, marketing, social media, photography, and consulting. After spending the past several years working in higher education, Liz is ready to get back to her roots. A dedicated advocate for equitable change in Appalachia, she is so excited to join the Mountain Association team and dedicate her time to building the futures our communities and region deserve. Liz can usually be found with a camera in hand and cannot pass up a visit to an antique store or farmer’s market. A proud mama of two, she loves nothing more than a lazy Sunday at home with her family in Corbin.
Liz loves visiting new areas of Eastern Kentucky and learning the histories and stories they hold. Most recently, Liz found inspiration during a visit to the Hemphill Community Center and Black Sheep Bakery.
