As his presence will be forever missed, ITSMF has named a scholarship in honor of the inaugural founder and chair who, alongside thirteen Black IT executives, founded the Information Technology Senior Management Forum in 1996. This scholarship recipient embodies the spirit of leadership and the pursuit of creating a path for others to follow.
