Imparting knowledge is an act of love shared with others and society. Very few things exist such as this that can be freely given and received with the power to transform lives for generations to come.

Currently, Booker is the chair for the AACRAO Transfer and Articulation Committee and he most recently authored the foundational Transfer Articulation 101 online course (2022) for AACRAO which leads to badging opportunities for participants.聽

Booker has also contributed to several publications on transfer credit processes as a co-author for AACRAO鈥檚 Guide to Best Practices: Articulation Agreements (2019); writing a chapter on international admissions for the AACRAO International Guide (2016), and was a consultant and named contributor to the Transferability of Postsecondary Credit Following Student Transfer or Co- Enrollment (2014) study published by the National Center for Education Statistics within the U.S. Department of Education.

Booker has dedicated numerous volunteer hours to several higher education professional organizations, with some of his most notable achievements coming through his support of PACRAO. Booker has served in several capacities on the PACRAO Board culminating in being President of the association in 2016. However, his proudest achievement for the association has been his work as one of the founding faculty members for the PACRAO Leadership Development Institute, which was formed in 2018. This year-long program serves a cohort of higher education professionals as they develop their competencies while ascending to be the future leaders in our institutions, and in 2022, Booker was named Dean of Faculty for this program.鈥
