"Alex is a dynamic, thoughtful and values-driven leader. In our work together at the Chicago Freedom School, Alex always impressed me with his insightfulness, honesty and dedication to social justice. He is truly collaborative in his approach and excels at building genuine partnerships with individuals, groups and organizations. He is knowledgeable about the dynamics of community and organizational development and skilled at putting that knowledge to work for strategic purposes. And, not insignificantly, he does this work with joy, always knowing how to make those around him smile."
