President Biden appointed former Jacksonville, Florida Mayor Alvin Brown as the vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
"I am honored to be named in this new role of vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board,” Brown said. “The NTSB is the gold standard for public safety, and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues at this federal agency to save lives and make transportation safer.”
The Senate confirmed Brown as the 47th board member last march, with his term running through 2026.
From 2011 to 2015 Brown served as mayor of Jacksonville. In addition, he served as a senior advisor for community infrastructure opportunities at the U.S. Department of Transportation before serving on the NTSB.
Starting as a senior member of the White House Leadership team under President Bill Clinton, Brown was Vice President Al Gore’s Senior Advisor for Urban Policy. He advised the president and vice president on a wide range of domestic issues.
Brown also served as executive director of the White House Community Empowerment Board and was a sr. advisor to former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.
