 CHAPTER DIRECTOR BIO:
Crystal Madison, a devoted mother, is the chapter director of the
new North Jersey Chapter. Chapter Director Madison is an
accomplished HR Professional that values the family unit. In HR,
she endorsed benefits and seminars for her employees that both
embrace and promote family unity.
A Nutley resident, Madison has long been a dedicated volunteer
throughout her community. Madison is an active volunteer for the
Special Olympics, Park Manor Nursing Home and Newmark Community
Cares Organization.
After becoming more and more dishearten on what she sees on TV,
Madison became motivated to initiate change. "There is very
little left on the airwaves that doesn't involve graphic
violence, twisted sexual situations or hopelessly dysfunctional
families touted as mainstream." She reminisces on growing up on
after-school specials and feel good shows like Fraggle Rock and
Wonder Woman that promoted positive social themes, unlike
today's raunchier programming. Madison has witnessed first hand
the impact television has on children and wants to educate her
community on its affects.
The North Jersey chapter will educate and mobilize the community
to initiate positive change in the quality of entertainment.
Important issues are reducing teen sexuality and profanity in
television programming. The chapter will also take a
watchdog stance on broadcasts and networks that ignore the FCC
guidelines.
