Synopsis: Step into the extraordinary life of Hezekiah Brown, a distinguished Arbitrator-Mediator and former Federal Mediator, whose journey from poverty-stricken Prichard, Alabama, to becoming the Chairman of the New York State Mediation Board is a testament to resilience and determination. In this compelling memoir, Brown shares his remarkable experiences of mediating over 5000 Labor-Management and community disputes, earning a place in Who's Who in America in 2023, and contributing to international initiatives in Russia and Europe.
Discover the man behind the accolades as Brown reflects on his 64-year marriage with Zelma Christine Brown, raising two adult children, Rodney L. Brown and Chandra D. Brown-King and two Granddaughters, Crystal N. Brown and Chanee (deceased), and leaving an indelible mark on the field of dispute resolution. With insights gained from more than 50 years in Corporate and Labor Relations, his expertise is sought after by top administrators at the state and national levels, as well as academia. From teaching at Cornell University to serving on the Labor-Management Task Force for Excellence in State and Local Government, Brown's impact is felt far beyond his retirement from the position of Deputy County Executive of Nassau County, New York.
In this inspiring narrative, Hezekiah Brown's journey encourages readers with the profound message, It is not where you started, it's where you finished. Whether you're navigating personal challenges or seeking professional growth, Brown's story is a beacon of hope, resilience, and the power of forging one's own path.
