Willie Brown

Keynote Speaker: 41st Mayor of San Francisco & 58th Speaker of the California State Assembly

Willie Brown Biography

Two-term Mayor of San Francisco, legendary Speaker of the California State Assembly, and widely regarded as the most influential African-American politician of the late twentieth century, Willie L. Brown, Jr., has been at the center of California politics, government, and civic life for an astonishing four decades. His career spans the American Presidency from Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush, and he’s worked with every California Governor from Pat Brown to Arnold Schwarzenegger. From civil rights to education reform, tax policy, economic development, health care, international trade, domestic partnerships, and affirmative action, he’s left his imprimatur on every aspect of politics and public policy in the Golden State.

As Mayor of California’s most cosmopolitan city, he refurbished and rebuilt the nation’s busiest transit system, pioneered the use of bond measures to build affordable housing, created a model juvenile justice system, and paved the way for a second campus of the University of California, San Francisco, to serve as the anchor of a new development that will position the City as a center for the burgeoning field of biotechnology. Today, he heads the Willie L. Brown, Jr., Institute on Politics and Public Service, where this acknowledged master of the art of politics shares his knowledge and skills with a new generation of California leaders.

    OMIOphthalmic Mutual Insurance Company (OMIC)C - Feb 05 2024

  • Association of California Life and Health Insurance Companies - Oct 19 2023

  • All American Entertainment made the planner experience so seamless and it was a pleasure to work with the Sarah and Michelle. They are definitely consumate professionals and "know their stuff!" I had previously worked with Mayor Brown when I was the planner with another group and knew that he would be the perfect speaker for our event and he did not disappoint. We received rave reviews and tons of comments on how much the attendees enjoyed him. Thank you to you and your staff for making my job easier. We will definitely reach out to All American Entertainment for another dynamic and engaging speaker for a future event.
