Biography

My first venture into politics was the King Township Municipal Election in 2010 when I ran for the position of Ward 5 Councillor. Prior to entering politics I was very involved with Concerned Citizens of King Township (CCKT), a citizens’ group with a mission of promoting “a healthy countryside with working landscapes, significant natural areas, and vibrant communities.” From 2007-2010 I was Chair. I personally worked relentlessly for two years to oppose the gas fired generator in the Holland Marsh.

My husband, Dan Erichsen Brown, and I have been living in King since late 2003 when we moved into a country property acquired by my husband’s parents 60 years ago. I have two grandsons.

Prior to moving to King, I had a successful 27 year career with Procter & Gamble (P&G). For the last 10 years of my business career I lived in Baltimore, Maryland and then Brussels, Belgium; my career began in Toronto. I graduated from Waterloo Lutheran University (now Wilfrid Laurier) in 1973 with B.A; in 1985 I earned an MBA from York University.
