The Medical Association of the State of Alabama announced Friday that it appointed a new director of government relations and public affairs.
Evans Brown of Montgomery has been appointed to the position and will direct legislative strategy on behalf of the state’s physician community. Brown served as the association’s manager of government relations for five years. His promotion to director caps nearly a decade of experience in advocacy.
“Evans has a comprehensive understanding of the policy landscape and a strong background working with both state and local government leaders,” Medical Association Executive Director Vernon Barnett said.
“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 Dr. Nina Ford Johnson, a Mobile pediatrician who serves as president of the Medical Association.
A Montgomery native, Brown earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Alabama.
