Meet Dylan
I am Dylan A. Altemara, running for Allegheny County District 9. As a community college educator at the Community College of Beaver County with almost ten-plus years of experience in government and education with the South Allegheny School District, IRS, Mars Area School District, Diocese of Pittsburgh, and now with CCBC, I understand that the communities that make up our district face many challenges.
Allow me to share a bit more about my background: I hold a BA in Sociology from California University of Pennsylvania (Class of '17), an MS in Human Resources from South New Hampshire University (Class of '22), and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Education from Point Park University (Educational Leadership and Administration) with an expected graduation in 2026.
Through my work in education and government, I have been a strong advocate for students with disabilities and health problems, taxpayers struggling to stay afloat, and people who are exploring career training options. As someone who has seen the impact of behavioral/mental health and substance abuse problems on friends and family members, I understand the need for support, not judgment. As your county council member, I am committed to drawing from these personal experiences to expand services, create jobs, and make our communities happier and healthier.
