The Crimson Book

The Crimson Book makes the structure of Alabama executive branch appointments easier to see and use.

It covers the Governor’s Office, the cabinet, other full-time executive heads, deputies and other exempt positions, and boards and commissions with Governor appointees. It shows appointing authorities, terms, Senate confirmation and pay where the Code of Alabama states them. Its function is analogous to the federal Plum Book, adapted to Alabama’s institutions.

The Crimson Book is an independent Noble Street Strategies publication. It is not an official state directory, a political endorsement, or a representation that any person will be appointed or retained. It is general information, not legal advice. It lists the bodies checked in the Code, not every board that has a Governor appointee.
