National Safety Council CEO Debbie Hersman and the NSC Communications team work around the clock to bring life-saving safety messages to the widest audience possible.

In 2015, we built a television studio at our headquarters in Itasca, IL. While Debbie continues to travel widely, she has been known to do more than 20 live-feed interviews in one day with reporters from across the country.
