Miss America Partners With Symantec

June 18, 2007 | 2:07 PM

Miss America Lauren Nelson has partnered with software security company Symantec Corp. in hopes of alerting children and parents about Internet dangers. Nelson will travel cross-country in a tractor trailer with representatives from the company, highlighting the latest in digital technology.

An official announcement about the campaign will be made Wednesday afternoon on Capitol Hill. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., will receive awards at the event for their efforts in promoting Internet safety.

Tech Daily Dose previously wrote about Nelson when she attended a fundraising gala for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children; helped "America's Most Wanted" catch online predators; and received training at the Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Center. Nelson sure is keeping busy during her reign!
