Advisory Committee

Andrew Frishkoff has served as Executive Director of Philadelphia LISC since 2011. He has dedicated his adult life to addressing issues of affordable housing and community development, with more than 30 years of experience.

Deborah joined Campus Philly in 2010 as president. She began her career as a college professor, teaching political philosophy at Columbia University and Bryn Mawr College. But after falling in love with Philadelphia as a place to live, she shifted focus, launched a career in market research and joined Visit Philadelphia as their first director of research and strategy. Working and raising two kids in the city has led to a deep appreciation of Philadelphia’s playgrounds, public schools, and errands easily done on a walk home from work. Deborah holds a BA from Bryn Mawr College and an MA and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She is chair of the board of the Greater Philly Hillel Network.
