Summary
Alison Hosp is set to become the new president of the Alabama Retail Association in January 2027, stepping into the role after a 25-year climb through the organization—from communications director to top government relations leader. She’ll succeed Rick Brown, who’s retiring after an unprecedented 37-year tenure, including 22 years as president, during which membership soared from 200 to over 4,500 businesses. Brown’s legacy of growth and influence has paved the way for Hosp, whose deep industry knowledge and respect from lawmakers make her the ideal successor. Meanwhile, current VP Brett Johnson will take over as CEO and assume leadership of the association’s workers’ comp fund, ensuring a seamless transition as Brown wraps up his historic service with pride in the team’s future.
