Re: Recommendation for Sheila McNair

To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Sheila McNair for the Training and
Evaluation position.

I have known Ms. McNair since 2006, when she hired me as a teacher for the Team-Up After
School Program at Reynolds Lane Elementary School in Jacksonville, Florida. I worked closely
there with Ms. McNair for seven years during her tenure as Project Manager, and grew to respect
her devotion to both her students and staff.

Ms. McNair went above and beyond in her efforts to enrich the lives of her students,
supplementing the academic components of her program with activities such as ballroom dancing,
etiquette classes, and the Jump Start Strings program, whereby violins and lessons by members of
the local symphony were provided to her students, many of whom went on to play with
accomplishment.

Able to strike a balance between being a member of a team and its leader, Ms. McNairs style of
training set clear standards and expectations for her staff, providing autonomy where appropriate
and direction when needed. She has strong people skills and developed a reputation as someone
who listens to and respects other voices and opinions, making her well-equipped to navigate
conflict and change. These qualities give her the ability to bring different types of people together
to form a team, providing support for each other while focusing on getting the job done.

Ms. McNair is a person of high integrity, and I recommend her without reservation for the
Training and Evaluation position. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Sincerely,
