About
the Director
Debbie, Pesses, nee Katz, grew up in a small town in Mississippi. After
graduating from Memphis State University with a degree in Communications,
Debbie moved to New Orleans, where she met her husband, Leon.
As a stay at home mom to Greta, now a preschool teacher in Atlanta, and
Evan, now a filmmaker in Lost Angeles, Debbie was a volunteer activist
in the New Orleans Jewish Community, having been president of her
sisterhood, vice president of her synagogue, on the Jewish Federation board,
and a proud Melton graduate. Named Outstanding Young Woman in America,
Debbie became the Jewish Enrichment Director at the New Orleans JCC in July, 2005. Debbie has been the Director of the FMAMS, New Orleans, since August 2007.
