JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Former Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown has been let go from his position at the National Transportation Safety Board, a White House spokesperson confirmed to First Coast News Tuesday.

Brown, who former President Joe Biden appointed in December, was released from his role as vice president of the NTSB on Monday.

Brown was previously confirmed in March 2024 as the 47th board member of the NTSB, and his term was expected to last through 2026.

Brown served as mayor of Jacksonville from 2011 to 2015 and was the city’s first-ever African-American mayor.

Before his time at the NTSB, Brown served as senior adviser for community infrastructure opportunities at the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Brown began his career as a senior part of the White House leadership team under former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, offering advice on various domestic matters.

He served as Gore’s senior advisor of urban policy, executive director of the White House Community Empowerment Board and was a senior adviser to former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.

Brown was the first member of his family to graduate from college. He earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business administration from Jacksonville University and a master’s degree from the Duke University Divinity School.
