VISIONARY

Chris Brown graduated from the University of South Carolina Upstate, majoring in Business with a minor in nonprofit organizations.

After 8 years in the nonprofit arena, I transitioned into pharmaceutical sales, giving me more flexibility to do what I really enjoy doing —working with young people by being a resource to them as a mentor. In 2021, I began volunteering through Celebration Church in one of their outreach programs over in the inner city.

TREASURER

As a native Jacksonvillian, I spent my early years, raised in a humble household with limited resources, life was a continuous challenge. However, those early struggles cultivated a resilient spirit within me, igniting a burning desire for change and improvement. With determination, I pursued education as my ticket out of adversity. Late nights were spent poring over textbooks, and each obstacle became a stepping stone toward a brighter future. Through tenacity and grit, I not only overcame the odds but emerged with a sense of resiliency and success.

Now, as a successful businesswoman, I find myself standing on the summit of accomplishment. The journey from hardship to prosperity has instilled in me a profound sense of gratitude and responsibility. Passionate about giving back, I've dedicated my success to philanthropy, channeling resources into initiatives that uplift those who may be experiencing the same background which I came from. My heart, however, resonates with the cause of education. Recognizing the transformative power of knowledge, I am fervently committed to helping those seeking higher education break free from the constraints of circumstance. By mentorship networks and resources for college readiness, I strive to be a guiding light for those navigating the challenging path to higher education, ensuring that every aspiring mind has the opportunity to realize their potential and build a future as bright as the one I now enjoy.
