Tauhric Brown

CICOA President and CEO Tauhric Brown, as a child, always looked forward to the six weeks every summer that he and his sister would spend with their grandmother in Atlanta. It was there that his passion for older adults was first kindled and where he learned some of his earliest lessons in leadership.

Before joining CICOA in January 2020, Tauhric was chief operating officer for Senior Services, Inc., an agency supporting older adults and people with disabilities in Kalamazoo, Mich. His career started in the U.S. Army, and then he became a successful owner/operator for a multi-carrier wireless retail company. Inspired by his family and upbringing, he made the switch to the nonprofit world to fulfill his dream of improving the lives of others.

Tauhric leads CICOA at a time when the landscape is changing rapidly for area agencies on aging nationwide. Over the next 10 to 15 years, he envisions CICOA serving as a model for managed long-term services and support, launching research institutes and using innovation as a catalyst for success.

In his spare time, Tauhric enjoys playing golf in warmer months or in front of the television in the winter watching University of North Carolina basketball (a fan since the Michael Jordan days.) He and his wife, Laura, collectively are the parents of six adult children. Most recently the couple became grandparents.
