Brady practiced law in Marin County for over 10 years, with an emphasis on public interest law, before being elected to Marin the County Board of Supervisors in 1990.
After serving a successful term, Brady left politics to create the Bay Area Multimedia Partnership (BAMP) at the request of the Bay Area Economic Forum. BAMP was a public-private partnership to link the Bay Area's private industry leaders with the schools and community colleges for up-to-date skills development to better prepare students for employment in the emerging digital industry. This led to a world-class website used by educators and trainers, and 4 popular books for instructors.
Brady was later retained as a Labor Market Consultant for state-wide Employment Development (EDD), and also by the Dept of Labor, to investigate and advise re other industries in California using this model of public-private partnerships.
Brady retired in 2006, is a breast cancer survivor, and is currently re-entering public service by running for the Marin Community College Board in the November 2013 election.
