Sharon Pinkenson, appointed by Mayor Edward G. Rendell
to the position of Director of the Philadelphia Film Office in
January 1992, was re-appointed by Mayor John Street at
the beginning of his first term, eight years later.
Ms. Pinkenson is responsible for all aspects of the office, founded in 1985. On July 1, 1992, she successfully spun off
the municipal film office as a multi-county driving force for economic development. She currently serves as Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, a non-profit corporation that has generated over one billion dollars during
her tenure through the production of over 100 films and TV shows.

Pinkenson markets the City of Philadelphia and surrounding
tri-state region to the film, video, and television industry, attracting that lucrative business that employs local citizens, engages local businesses, fills hotel rooms and restaurants,
and leaves without polluting anything. She also directs local goods and services to productions; publishes the Greater Philadelphia Film & Video Guide and the astoundingly
popular website www.film.org; and advocates for the growth
of Philadelphia’s indigenous film community through the
Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers program. More recently,
her lobbying efforts have resulted in the passage of the
PA Film Production Tax Credit program that has caught
the attention of the international film industry resulting in a
surge of new business for the state and the region. >>more

Hailed as the “MVP for the children” in a 2004 profile in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Shelly Yanoff has pursued the task of making life better for the region’s young for more than three decades.

Her advocacy began in the mid-sixties, when she learned
that the “Get Set” Program, which served 5,000 youngsters,
was about to close. Yanoff organized protests and rallies,
and formed the coalitions that saved the program.

As director of Philadelphia Citizens for Children and Youth,
she brought more than 2,000 people to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s capital and led the fight to improve funding
for child welfare services in the state as well as the city.
Yanoff worked to improve access to medical care for the
state’s low income children, and then led PCCY to sue the
state to provide needed health services to children. She
also collaborated with others to develop and expand Pennsylvania’s CHIP program, to include children too “rich”
to qualify for medical assistance and too “poor” to afford
private insurance. >>more
