LOS ANGELES - The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection has hired Ruby Tan as its director of membership.
In her new position, Tan will be in charge of creating relationships with new sponsors and will be involved in strategic development.
"I'm extremely excited about my new position with ASACP, and I feel that my experience in corporate sales and marketing will be a great addition to the organization," she said.
Tan will take on much of the sponsor-related work of Executive Director Joan Irvine, who said she has been spending an increasing amount of time working in Washington, D.C.
"ASACP has achieved so much in order to protect children, but we are constantly being faced with new challenges," Irvine said. "Much more of my time is being spent in D.C. creating relationships to help us further our mission. Ruby will be taking over much of the work I have done with sponsors. It's a very exciting time for ASACP."
Before going to work for ASACP, Tan spent six years working in Playboy's affiliate relations and special markets department. Tan's background also includes sales experience at E! Entertainment and CBS Television, and experience in marketing and promotion at Clear Channel Communications/KYLD and KPWR.
"At my previous position with Playboy Television, I had worked with the adult industry as well as corporate cable and satellite providers in Canada, so I'm very enthusiastic to talk about ASACP's efforts to all my contacts," Tan said. "There are quite a few tasks that ASACP has for the future, and with help from Joan and the staff, I'm quite eager in getting those goals accomplished."
ASACP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet and helping parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate material online.
