The Parents Television Council is proud to announce Beth Oerman as the director of the Rock Island Chapter. 

 

Oerman is a leader in her community. She is the founder and director of Read to Succeed, a local non-profit that promotes the fundamentals of reading by building a fun and safe atmosphere. Education has always been a part of Oerman life; previously serving as a library helper, tutor and classroom helper.

 

As a parent, Oerman is appalled by the ubiquitous barrage of adult content on television “My goal is to see the day when it is possible once again for families to sit down together and watch prime time television while not having to worry about the constant onslaught of sex, violence, and profane language. I plan to lead Rock Island residents to become instruments of change. Together we will make sure local broadcasters know that we care what is shown on our public airwaves and that we expect better,” Oerman said.

 

The Rock City Chapter will be the go-to source for information on how local youth can be affected by the media, what content they are being exposed to, and what people can do about it.
