Our Partners
George Brown is a senior partner with the RR Consulting Group. He recently retired after 18 years as the Executive Director of the State Bar of Wisconsin and 30 years with the association.
As the State Bar's chief staff executive, he led a statewide association with over 25,000 lawyer members, a staff of 90, and a $12 million annual budget. Inheriting an association that was several million dollars in debt, he improved the finances by becoming debt free with over $3 million in cash reserves, largely by increasing non-dues revenue. At the same time, he improved financial policies and procedures, tightened fiscal controls, contract signing and document control procedures. He led the development of the first association-wide strategic plan, and transformed the board decision-making process from one based upon politics and political pressure to one based upon information and knowledge.
George's peers have elected him president of the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE), as its Secretary, and to its Board of Directors. His leadership and expertise in association management have led to presentations at more than 70 national conferences. In 2017-18, he advised the Armenian Chamber of Advocates on improving their programs and services to the lawyers and the people of Armenia.
George holds an undergraduate degree from Illinois State University and a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
