For five days, he will be honoured as a young leader and will participate in activities commemorating the presidential inauguration and the transition of power. Among those activities is a Black Tie Inaugural Ball.
According to a letter of invitation dispatched to his parents, Winston and Charmaine Jordan, Darren was selected based on his leadership skills demonstrated at the Global Young Leaders Conference. Darren attended the conference in July 2007.
“On behalf of the 366 members of Congress on our Honorary Congressional Board of Advisors, I would like to extend my congratulations on this extraordinary recognition of Darren’s achievements and the special character he demonstrated at GYLC. You should be very proud,” the letter read.
His hosts are confident that Darren will gain a deeper understanding of the history behind the electoral process of the United States, and will be inspired by the richness of tradition surrounding the inauguration.
