LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Performer Availability Screening Service (PASS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the health and safety of adult industry workers, has announced the three new members to its Board of Directors. The three new board members are RubyLynne, Beth McKenna and Kira Noir.
As PASS noted in the announcement, all three of its new board members are active adult performers, which the organization said emphasizes “PASS’s commitment to worker-led governance and ensuring that those most affected by health and safety policy have a direct role in shaping it”
“With these elections, PASS further strengthens its position as an organization where performers themselves drive the health, safety, and risk-management standards that govern their working environments,” the announcement added.
RubyLynne is a performer, host of the award nominated The Granny Panty Podcast and long-time member of the PASS Medical Advisory Board. PASS said that with her “professional background in public health systems, she brings both health field expertise and lived experience to PASS’s evidence-based approach to health and safety.”
“I’m honored to join the Board of Directors at PASS,” RubyLynne said. “As a performer with experience in public health, I’m excited to contribute my lived experience and advocacy to an organization that sets the standard for safety, trust, and accountability in our industry.”
Beth McKenna is a twice AVN-nominated performer with a background as a practicing attorney. PASS said her “combined legal expertise and firsthand industry experience allow her to contribute critical insight on compliance, risk management, and worker protections as PASS navigates an increasingly complex regulatory landscape while ensuring policies continue to serve performers.”
“It is my immense honor to join the Board of Directors at PASS,” McKenna said. “As a performer with more than 30 years of legal experience, I look forward to supporting the Board on many levels, both as a performer and as a lawyer.”
PASS observed that Kira Noir is “an award-winning adult performer currently signed with Brazzers and a respected advocate and educator on performer rights and workplace equity.”
“With extensive on-set experience and a strong public voice, she brings a practical, worker-centered perspective to PASS’s health and safety policy development,” the announcement added.
“I’ve seen the positive impact that PASS has had on our community my entire career,” Noir said. “I’m thrilled to be able to be a part of the board, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help keep my industry safe.”
PASS added that as “performers with firsthand experience navigating on-set safety, testing protocols, and evolving public-health challenges, Lynne, McKenna, and Noir bring essential perspective and expertise to the board. Their participation helps ensure that PASS policies remain responsive to real-world working conditions and continue to uphold the highest standards of performer-centered care.”
“One of our goals in founding PASS as its own organization was to ensure that the people most affected by health and safety policy have real authority in shaping it,” said PASS Executive Director, Ian O’Brien. “We believe that doing so makes the entire industry stronger, safer, and more accountable. Bringing exceptional and established leaders like Ruby, Beth, and Kira into PASS governance ensures our standards are grounded in lived experience rather than assumptions.”
