“Leadership embodied, Joel has a masterful approach to guiding organizations through strategic puzzles and legal quagmires. I had the pleasure of serving on a civic board with Joel, which provided unique insight into his well-calibrated character and passion for orchestrating people, systems, and the environment. After working with Joel for a few years, I now consider him a colleague, mentor and friend and can wholeheartedly recommend him for other board-level positions.”
