“At the heart of leadership is the leader’s relationship with followers. People will entrust their hopes and

dreams to another person only if they think the other is a reliable vessel.” David Gergen, White House Communications Director for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton.

As we enter the nominations period, this quote reminds us that leadership in NFBPWC is rooted in trust. The strongest leaders are those who listen, follow through, and create space for others to grow. They inspire confidence not through titles, but through integrity and consistent action.

Think about the members who embody these qualities, the ones who show up prepared, treat others with respect, and strengthen our mission through their reliability and character. These are the individuals who help our organization thrive.

This is the moment to lift up those leaders who have earned your trust. Nominate the person who reflects the spirit of Gergen’s words and will guide NFBPWC forward with purpose and steadiness.
