by Mrs. Jean Brown of Knoxville, TN.

Brown organized and served as the first president of the Tennessee Association of the Beauty Schools. Since that time, he served several terms as President of that Association . He Also served as President of the National Association of Cosmetology Schools, and as an elected Commissioner on the National Accreditation Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences.
He, along with his son, Gordon, and grandson Adam, have constantly strived to elevate the educational concepts in the field and to assist in upgrading the professional standards.
