To whom it may concern:

I have worked with Carrie Blank for the last 6 years here at the Southwestern Texas Synod. She has managed many of the administrative details of several of my areas of responsibility, including (but not limited to) human resources management, event management, reporting, database and website management and client support. She has executed her responsibilities with great care and high quality. She can juggle multiple priorities effectively and has brought a very positive attitude to her work.

As I am assuming a new position as Bishop within this organization, I have reorganized the staff position was one such position; this was in no way a reflection of her performance. I am happy to give her a positive recommendation, and would be pleased to talk with you more if you have any questions. My number is 830-***-****. Sincerely,

Reverend Susan J. Briner

Bishop-elect, Southwestern Texas Synod
