(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) Dee Williams, who already has broad experience working to help children, has joined the Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps Advisory Board.

Williams, who currently is the marketing consultant for Totally Kids Specialty Health Care, taught school in Ohio for 12 years before moving to California in 1987. She has worked for more than 20 years in sales and marketing, but never lost her passion for children.

But kids aren’t the only ones Williams likes to help. While a newcomer to the San Bernardino Corps advisory board, she has since 1998 served in the same capacity on the San Bernardino Adult Rehabilitation Center Advisory board, which assists men who are going through the drug and alcohol rehabilitation program run by this branch of the Salvation Army.

“I have enjoyed interacting with the men going through the ARC’s sobriety program,” Williams said. “It is very rewarding to see the successes that these men have accomplished, and now as a member of the Corps advisory board, I look forward to seeing entire families blessed as a result of the Salvation Army.”

“I have always been a great supporter of the Salvation Army and the work that they do,” she added. 

The advisory board consists of volunteers who assist the Salvation Army with fund raising, community outreach and other areas of the Corps’ ministries.

“Dee Williams has a strong background in sales and marketing, which will assist the Salvation Army in providing the services people need the most,” said Tom Brickley, advisory board president. “
