CHAPTER DIRECTOR BIO:
Eric Brookens has over 40 years of
experience as an educator, starting with his experience as a
Peace Corps volunteer in Panama. He also was a traveling school
principal with Up With People, followed by public school
instruction. Thirty years of his career was spent with the
Colorado Department of Corrections where he
had administrative inmate education positions, working with
teachers to help prisoners obtain GEDs and vocational
certificates. A unique experience occurred when he was accepted
through the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program and for one year
taught and did education administrative work in one of
England's prisons. Currently he is a substitute teacher and
tutor in Colorado Springs.
Along with his volunteer experience
with the Peace Corps, he has been active in the community with
library board work, Boys Brigade Leader, his church, Little
League and YMCA coach, mentor for the Center on Fathering,
International Students, Inc., Wheels for the World, and Boy
Scout special projects.
The
Colorado Springs Chapter will show concerned citizens that they
can have an impact on today’s programming through contacting
local stations, advertisers, and political representatives. “I
want people to know that we can cleanup TV,” said Brookens.
