84 TH GRAND CHAPTER MEETING PHILADELPHIA, PA
I work hard for Kappa Alpha Psi® because I cannot do any less. I’ve had the opportunity of working with brothers that have exacting standards and a will to see Kappa at the top. Shortcuts cheapen our standards and excuses weaken our brand. “All in” really means “all in” When you consider that membership selection is the life line of Kappa Alpha Psi’s® survival. I’ve had 15 years of experience to help guide us down the tracks with some major repair along the way. When I reflect on Vicksburg and its history, its momentum toward progress is powered by people unshackled by the past. When I reflect on my youth and what that unquenchable desire toward achievement has inspired in my professional life’s work, I can see good can come from the humblest of beginnings. When I reflect on how amazing it is to volunteer for five consecutive Grand Polemarchs as a part of their administrations, I can reap the psychic benefit of knowing that time, talent and treasure replaces all negative energy, that positive outcomes is joy to my soul, and the impact of my labors pays forward the confidence that each of them has placed in me. I am grateful for the testaments to my leadership and character that follow this narrative and I am thankful for your consideration of my Elder Watson Diggs Award petition.
