4/7/2015 0 Comments The Promised Land SocietyA public affairs professional with experience in the national government, Bryan Specht holds the position of president of Olson PR, a Chicago-based firm that focuses on building brands and brand communities. Earlier in his career, Bryan Specht served on the staff of the Clinton White House and on staffs of Senators Bill Bradley and Robert Toricelli and Congressman Ted Strickland. He holds an abiding interest in the prevention of child abuse and founded the Promised Land Society, which he serves as chairman of its board of directors.
A private humanitarian organization established by the Specht family, the Promised Land Society is dedicated to the concept that the United States should provide every child with the basic tools and resources needed to achieve his or her God-given potential. This includes such things as access to health care, mental health support, high-quality free education, and a clean environment, as well as programs to help prepare parents for child rearing and to encourage the development of communities of similarly-well-cared-for children within which to grow. The society believes that children who reach adulthood after they have been so reared and nourished will rely less on the traditional government-funded social safety net and will be more capable of standing on their own and contributing to society.
