Bethel Park Resident Named First Director

 

LOS ANGELES (July 23, 2007) — The Parents Television Council™, the nation’s most influential advocacy organization protecting children from graphic sex, violence and profanity in the media, announced Deborah Dell as the director of the Pittsburgh Chapter.  This is the second chapter in Pennsylvania, growing the PTC’s powerful network of activists.

 

As the Director of the Pittsburgh Chapter, Dell brings a diverse background in local charities and public service to her position.  Dell is involved in her community through several organizations.  Her work for Life Outreach International has helped to raise money for building water wells in impoverished nations.  She is a member of the Ladies of Charity, a church organization that helps provide meals to battered women in her neighborhood.  In addition, Dell is working with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in educating first and second graders on the importance of community service and homeless issues.

 

A mother of two, Dell said, “What children are exposed to and taught will largely determine the quality of both their futures and ours.  My goal as chapter director is to educate and motivate the community in initiating positive changes in the types of entertainment that is invited into our homes.”  Dell added, “I will encourage local television, their advertisers, and their affiliates for a return to integrity and socially responsible entertainment.”

 

Tim Winter, president of the PTC said, “Experienced community leaders like Deborah bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for positive social change.  Her dedication to serving the public paired with her commitment to educating children and communities attest to Deborah’s strength as a leader and as a person.  I am happy to welcome Deborah into the PTC family and expect great things from her chapter.”
