After strategically implementing the program citywide and meeting its purpose of reducing crime while improving quality of life, Fuqua was recognized during Hispanic American History Month as one of Philadelphia's Most Influential Latinos 2014.
[citation needed] Fuqua's outgoing leadership style along with his reputation for getting things done with compassion for the citizens of Philadelphia, led to yet another promotion in 2014 when he accepted an appointment to the senior executive team as chief of staff, Office of the Managing Director – Deputy Mayor of Coordination & Administration.
This prestigious appointment involves intense oversight of the daily operations for some of the city's essential service-oriented departments that drive the mayor's strategic goals in community engagement and public safety.
Fuqua was also involved in creating and maintaining outstanding internal and external relations, which included daily interactions with the city council, commissioners, citizens and other elected officials in order to achieve the mayor's strategic goals and 5-year plan.
As a member of South Street, Fuqua partnered with the Philadelphia 76ers to become part of the first Afro-American Latino pop group to perform the National Anthem for two consecutive years in the First Union Center in remembrance of Martin Luther King Day.
