Ms. Janice Lynn
Manager
Human Resources
LifeBridge Health

Baltimore, MD 21215
Dear Ms. Lynn:
Being identified as one of the top 50 hospitals in the United States by
U.S. News and World Report is a significant honor. Congratulations.
Restructuring the Human Resources Department to provide even greater value
to LifeBridge Health in its quest for improvement, is a significant and
exciting challenge. I would like to be a part of this effort.
I saw your advertisement in the November 11, 2001, Baltimore Sun and have
enclosed my resume for your consideration for the position of Manager-
Training and Development.
My ten plus years of experience in implementing organization wide change
programs and performance improvement projects complements my formal
training and education. My experiences as project manager required me to
manage the change process across multiple departments and in some cases
multiple organizations at the same time. This is similar to the structure
of LifeBridge Health, which consists of three organizations, Sinai,
Northwest and Levindale and many departments and personalities. I have been
an Executive Trainer, and in that role coached CEO's from many industries
on their role in the "change" effort. I began my career with assignments at
hospitals in St. Louis, Missouri and Champaign Urbana, Illinois.
I look forward to examining any of the ways you feel my background and
skills would benefit the organization. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Johnnie Ponzie
