As a staunch advocate for cancer research and prevention, Ms. Brown was instrumental in the Surgeon General’s report on smoking as well as demonstrating the importance of pap smears for women. She was recently honored with the Minerva Award from the California Governor’s Office – an honor bestowed on women who have dedicated themselves to building outreach programs that have made a difference in the lives of Californians and furthered positive change. Her many accomplishments include serving as the former L.A.
