The Medical Association of the State of Alabama (MASA), representing thousands of Alabama physicians, has appointed Evans Brown as Director of Government Relations and Public Affairs. He will direct all legislative strategy on behalf of the state’s physician community. For the past five years, Brown has served as MASA’s Manager of Government Relations. His promotion to Director caps off nearly a decade of experience in the advocacy arena.
“Evans has a comprehensive understanding of the policy landscape and a strong background working with both state and local government leaders,” said Vernon Barnett, the Executive Director of the Medical Association.
“Physicians in Alabama are pleased that Evans is stepping into this important role aimed at protecting and advocating for the medical profession and the patients we serve,” said Nina Ford Johnson, MD, a Mobile pediatrician who serves as President of MASA.
Brown earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Alabama.
