Liz Brister has earned a reputation as one of Mississippi’s foremost experts in corporate giving and philanthropy. So it came as no surprise that her employer, Entergy Corp., promoted Brister to a corporate-wide post that would allow all Entergy companies to benefit from her passion and leadership in the area of social responsibility. Additionally, Brister has become an effective lobbyist for Entergy at the State Capitol and has taken part in Entergy’s economic development activities, most recently with the launch of her “Mississippi Makeover Competition” for cities and towns in the company’s service area. Through her church, Brister also created Books, Bibles and Basketball, a program that not only provides a safe place for teenage boys to play but a space to learn and grow.
