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.
