RE: Pamela Denise Weaver, Enumerator for 2020 Census

To: Whom It May Concern:

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Weaver as her immediate supervisor overseeing her employment, as an Enumerator for the Census in Austin, Texas from July 29 through October 6t 2020. Her intuitive instincts as to how to work smarter rather than harder were immensely helpful to our team. After the initial online training, she was the first of my team out the door and into the field before anyone else on the team. She immediately found what was working in order to complete cases and then taught those tools to the rest of our team. With her spunk, ability to think on her feet, cordiality and extensive legal and investigative background, she was extremely helpful in securing information in order to close cases. Her extraordinary efforts were acknowledged and in the last month of employment was moved up the ranks to a Central Field Supervisor herself.

Sincerely,

Becky Stokes

Central Field Supervisor U.S. Census Bureau
