1076

At last week’s city council meeting Mayor Anthony Smith recognized Councilman Marvin Brown, who was recently named Man of Valor by the National Council of Negro Women.

Brown received the unexpected award at a luncheon held at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort in Chandler.

“I had no idea it was coming and had to give a speech!” said Brown. “My wife is a member, and she didn’t even know.”

The mayor also congratulated Brown on his recent appointment to the Pinal County Crime Victim Compensation Board.

“It is a great honor for me to be a part of this,” said Brown.  His appointment will allow the councilman to help victims of crime with ancillary assistance for medical costs, insurance for burials and counseling services.

Brown said he was grateful for both the recognition and the appointment. Through the appointment he hopes to continue helping the citizens of Maricopa and Pinal County.
