"There is no pandemic exception to the Constitution of the United States ... " U.S. Federal Court Judge

Leadership is not proven when decisions are easy — but when integrity demands standing alone. One of AZ’s defining tests came in 2021, when integrity, governance, ethics and lives were at stake during the COVID-19 Pandemic. 


Narrative

In April 2021, as Chief of Staff at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and a member of the COVID-19 Continuity Committee, AZ faced an extraordinary governance test. Outnumbered 20 to 1, he opposed an unlawful COVID-19 "vaccine" [unlicensed, unapproved, and experimental] mandate that placed over 9,000 NCCU students and employees at risk. His principled stance — costly at the time — led to the university reversing course, setting precedent across the UNC System and safeguarding potentially more than 300,000 lives and livelihoods. 


This moment crystallized the clarity and courage AZ now delivers to CEOs, boards, and institutions navigating their own defining tests.
