HARRISBURG, August 2 – State Senator
LeAnna M. Washington
(D-Philadelphia/Montgomery) has furthered
her commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of
Pennsylvania’s children by being named to
the Pennsylvania Children’s Trust Fund (CTF)
Board of Directors.
The
CTF is dedicated to funding community-based
programs to prevent child abuse and neglect.
“I am honored by this
appointment,” Washington said. “Child abuse
and neglect are two of the most horrendous
crimes perpetrated against children. I will
work diligently to ensure that all
Pennsylvania children are able to lead safe,
happy lives.”
Washington
was named, by the
Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore,
to the Children ’s Trust Fund Board on July
27, 2005 after Senate Minority Leader,
Robert J. Mellow, recommended her.
She also serves as the Democratic Chairwoman
of the Senate Aging and Youth Committee.
The CTF was established in 1988 by the
Children’s Trust Fund Act and is funded from
a $10 surcharge on all applications for
marriage licenses and divorce complaints. |
