Tess Rowland's impact extends far beyond her previous role as the National President of MADD. Before she transitioned into non-profit leadership, Tess was an Emmy-nominated journalist in the Panama City Beach area at WMBB News 13. She was also recognized by the Florida Association of Broadcast Journalists as Reporter of the Year for 2021. That same year she was in a Head On collision with a Drunk Driver on Back Beach Road. Choosing to be better and not bitter, Tess is a champion of Traffic Safety and has written a new Children's Book. Astro's Adventures: Exploring Road Safety, featuring Astro, the lively mini labradoodle, and his best friend Tess are on a critical mission: educating youth about road safety!
