To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to be able to write this letter of recommendation for Lora
Weiss. I have
worked with Lora for three years in my capacity as counsel for Community
Link relative
to various employment and personnel issues.
Lora is an employee who will be dedicated and loyal to your organization.
With her
leadership and direction, we developed a process resulting in reducing
Community Link's
unemployment cost by $80,000. We improved the discipline procedure for all
supervisors and aided them with the tools they needed to make better
decisions when
disciplining their employees. Lora coordinated this procedure and made sure
everything
was done accurately and timely. I found her to be very knowledgeable,
consistently
pleasant, and easy to work with. Lora is one of the most ambitious and
efficient human
resource professionals I know.
Lora will be a good addition to any staff. She is a team player, very
knowledgeable and
would make a great asset to any organization. Please let me know if you
need further
information.
Sincerely,
/s/ Steven C. Mills

To Whom It May Concern:
As the former Executive Director of Community Link and Lora Weiss' former
direct supervisor, I am pleased to be able to write this letter of
recommendation. I became Executive Director at Community Link in 1972 and,
after working with Lora for 7 years, I retired in June of 2008.
Lora began employment at Community Link in October of 2001 as the Human
Resource Generalist. Due to her outstanding skills and abilities, she was
named Human Resource Director in November of 2006. I was consistently
impressed by Lora's attitude toward her work and her performance on the
job. Her interpersonal and communication skills allowed her to develop
productive working relationships with both outside contacts and staff.
Lora was able to save Community Link time and money by successfully
initiating process improvements. She helped to lower the turnover rate from
35% to 19%, managed and developed better methods for recruiting and
retaining employees, developed a Volunteer program which resulted in
several commendations from United Way, and much more.
Lora is a hard worker who is very knowledgeable, punctual, reliable, and
dedicated. She has the ability to work with a team and work independently
as well.
I highly recommend her for employment. She is a team player, creative, and
would make a great asset to any organization. Please don't hesitate to call
me at 859-***-**** if you need further information.
Sincerely,
