At the helm of Brady as the organization’s president is Kris Brown, who has tirelessly worked to raise awareness of gun violence and its prevalence as a national healthcare crisis. Throughout her career, she has launched countless programs designed to save lives, including Brady’s groundbreaking safe storage campaign to End Family Fire.
