“I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst,
a “transformer” in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast
that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence,
courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.”— Stephen R. Covey

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out
against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million
different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down
the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”- Robert F. Kennedy

"The cornerstone of any great city is its people, their engagement in addressing local challenges
and the extent to which they have a vision or what I like to call a community battle plan
to wage war (not to be taken literally) in the battle for good livable wage jobs, private investment,
quality housing for all citizens, great schools, safe communities and removing
social and economic barriers which prevent both its citizens and community from reaching their
full social and economic potential. - Dr. Eric Anthony Johnson
