William H. Brown, Harris Corporation’s chairman, president, and CEO, has been nominated to serve on the Association of the U.S. Army’s Council of Trustees.

Brown has served as president and CEO of Harris since November 2011 and was elected chairman in April 2014.

The AUSA national nominating committee recommended Brown for the position on the council. Article V of the association bylaws provides for association members to make nominations to the council or comment on a nomination.

Brown worked for United Technologies Corp. before coming to Harris. He serves on the board of directors for the Celanese Corporation, the Fire Department of NYC (FDNY) Foundation and the board of trustees of both the Florida Institute of Technology and Florida Polytechnic University.

He is a member of President Trump’s Manufacturing Jobs Initiative, the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, the United States-Brazil CEO Forum and the Aerospace Industries Association’s executive committee.

He received bachelor of science and master of science degrees in mechanical engineering from Villanova University and a master’s of business administration from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School.
