Willie T. Reaves Jr.

“Willie is a forthright and intelligent guy. I loved working with him because he gives his all and is open - not afraid to give feedback be it good, bad, or indifferent. Loved bouncing ideas off him on improving processes or attempting to understand business processes in the Partnering side of the house at BIO while I was in the weeds with the data from an IT/Education perspective.”

“If I had to describe Willie in one word it would be "effective." I had the privilege of working under Willie while he was the President of D.C.'s Emory Alumni Association. He never ceased to amaze me with how effective he was at juggling chapter meetings, upcoming events, leadership conferences at Emory, etc. all while still taking time to mentor board members like myself who were new to the Emory Board and new to D.C. Willie is an incredible leader who has more passion than anyone else I have ever met. He is the type of person that you can count on and you undoubtedly want on your team.”
