Supporting comments: "One of Josh's strong leadership skills lies in his ability to steady an organization so that there is sufficient structure for its members to carry out their various roles and responsibilities. He is known and loved for his easygoing personality, calmness under pressure, and accessibility. Other students across differences in race, class, gender and nationality find him to be down to earth, to have a ready sense of humor, and yet to take his responsibilities seriously and guide others to do their part in ensuring the success of collective endeavors. His commitment and dedication to moving young men and Alpha Phi Alpha forward can be seen in programs like 'Gentlemen's Etiquette' and 'What it Means to Be a Man.' Today, as past-president of NPHC, he offers an historical and wise perspective to the group. Being an integral part of a values-based organization for men of African-American decent, inclusive leadership and integrity truly resonate with Josh."
