City & State: Pastor Nicholas Named a Responsible 100 Leader

"Former New York City and state government officials who are continuing to serve New Yorkers as civic-minded nonprofit leaders. Energy industry entrepreneurs who have New York at the forefront of the transition to clean energy. Lawyers, bankers and corporate executives carrying out a mission that goes far beyond maximizing profits.

These altruistic individuals are among the many New Yorkers who devote endless hours to serving others, and each year City & State recognizes 100 of these unsung heroes. We are putting a spotlight on a select group of individuals who exemplify what it means to be socially responsible – whether it’s through community engagement and volunteerism, diversity, equity and inclusion, ethics and transparency, or philanthropy and charity." - City & State Website.

Job description

On any day, I am making connections, nurturing current relationships or leading my team toward our goals of eliminating health disparities in the city of Buffalo for Black and brown residents by way of community engagement and advocacy. I wear many hats in the community but I am especially proud of the work the Buffalo Center for Health Equity does and I make it a point to broadcast that wherever possible.

Defining social responsibility

As a pastor, social responsibility is engrained in my DNA. It means that there are bigger things than my own person and I humbly work with and for the community.

 Congratulations Pastor George!
