To whom it may concern:

Ms. Sydney Rose Levinson has worked with Artist Presentation Society, a non-profit organization promoting classically trained musicians in the emerging stages of their careers, during the past summer developing strategic plans and tactical approaches for new marketing and communications programs for the organization.  Her work has been exceptional.

Ms. Levinson met with the clients, listened to their needs, and provided sensible, practical, and creative approaches to the needs of the organization in a most timely manner.  Her approaches offered fresh tactics to penetrate younger demographic audiences.  Not only did she provide the strategic thinking needed but backed it up with the needed contacts and technical methods to execute the recommended tactics.

I highly recommend Ms. Levinson and appreciate her hard work and creative energies.  As chair of the Promotions and Marketing efforts for Artist Presentation Society, I commend her efforts on our behalf.

To whom it may concern,

This letter is my personal recommendation for Sydney Levinson. During the summer of 2009, I was one of Sydney’s immediate supervisors during her internship for Lenders One. I found Sydney to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile.

Besides being a joy to work with, Sydney is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. She successfully assisted our conference planning team in preparation for our summer conference in Washington D.C.  Sydney not only provided our conference team with assistance in preparation for the conference but assisted in all aspects while “on the ground” in D.C.

Though she was an asset to our conference planning, Sydney was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company.  She was willing to jump in where needed by any of our staff members at any time including assisting our executive team.

I highly recommend Sydney for employment. She is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.

Sincerely,

Amy Scarborough
