===Candidate Propaganda Follows===
Erin Molchany is one of those elusive smart, exciting twenty-somethings
that the rest of us in Pittsburgh have been trying so hard to keep
within our city limits. Born and raised in Allentown, PA, she came to
Pittsburgh to study at Duquesne University ten years ago, where she
received her degree in journalism and earned money for school by
working in the Emergency Services Department of the American Red Cross.
Erin has lived in District 2 since she came to Pittsburgh. Today she
serves on the Mt. Washington Community Development Corporation Board of
Directors, where she has helped to create housing for seniors, new jobs
at Foodland Fresh and Lucky Bucks, more parking spaces to relieve the
parking hassles for both residents and visitors, beautification
projects like the Gazebo and Garden project, and the preservation of
green spaces. Erin is also a member of the Pittsburgh Sports League
and Pittsburgh Public Theater Second City Committee. She also serves
as the co-chair of the Special Events Committee of the PPWPAF.
Erin Molchany is a young, energetic leader whose job it is to train
other leaders. She works for the Coro Center for Civic Leadership -- a
non-profit whose mission is to "prepare citizen leaders" for the 21st
century. As the Regional Institute Associate at CORO, it is Erin's job
to develop the professional leadership skills of over 180 local leaders
annually. She runs such programs as the Community Problem-Solving
Fellowship, Health Sciences Fellowship, Women in Leadership Program,
Information Technology Leadership Program, Neighborhood Leaders Program
and Emerging Leaders in Public Affairs.
Prior to working with the Coro, Erin was the Director of Marketing and
Development for Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania (PPWP). Her
work in fundraising and marketing at Planned Parenthood piqued her
interest in politics and policy-making, and led to volunteerism with
political campaigns on the local, state and national level. Erin
served on the Women's Steering Committee for Ed Rendell's Gubernatorial
Campaign in 2002 as well as Allyson Schwartz for U.S. Senate in 2000,
Al Gore's Presidential campaign in 2000 and William Peduto's Pittsburgh
City Council race in 2001.
