Speaker Information

Supervisor Brian Colbert

Board of Supervisors, County of Marin

Brian grew up in Bethel, Connecticut, as part of the first African-American family to live in the area. He attended Oberlin College, earning degrees in political science and theater, and later pursued advanced studies at the University of Chicago, obtaining both a law degree and a degree in public policy. After practicing law for five years, Brian explored entrepreneurial ventures before moving to Turkey with his wife, Nihal. There, he taught in the Department of International Relations at the Izmir University of Economics for three and a half years.

In 2007, Brian and Nihal relocated to San Francisco, where they embraced the Bay Area's vibrant community. In 2011, they settled in San Anselmo, attracted by Marin County's open spaces and excellent schools. Their daughter attended Wade Thomas Elementary School, and Nihal served as Chair of the YES Foundation Board, achieving the organization’s highest fundraising year during her tenure. Brian joined the town’s Economic Development Committee, eventually becoming Chair and contributing to initiatives that supported the local economy and community.

Brian has played an active role in regional efforts to improve public spaces and support local businesses. Notably, he spearheaded the Reimagining Creek Park project, transforming a flood mitigation effort into a dynamic community park that revitalized San Anselmo's downtown. During the pandemic, he worked with local organizations to assist businesses and served on the inaugural Economic Vitality Strategic Plan steering committee. Brian also holds leadership roles with the Transportation Authority of Marin and Marin Transit, focusing on sustainable transportation and community connectivity.

Professionally, Brian is the Director of Business Development and Patient Experience for an innovative medical practice in San Francisco. His commitment to community service and professional excellence reflects his dedication to fostering inclusive, thriving environments in both his personal and professional endeavors.
