September 4, 2014 To Whom it May Concern: It is my sincere pleasure to recommend Megan Story for an event coordinator position with Vina Robles. Megan recently graduated from the Recreation, Parks, & Tourism Administration major at Cal Poly. I serve as a Professor and the Department Head of this major. As you will see from Megan’s resume, she has accumulated a substantial amount of experience in the event planning, hospitality, catering, and wine industries. She has a firm understanding of operations, marketing, catering, and the intricacies of providing an unparalleled experience to winery tasting room and event visitors. Furthermore, Megan has the aptitude to do extremely well in any organizational setting, has an excellent work ethic, and is diligent in completing quality work in a timely manner. She is very personable, has benefited from a variety of cultural, life, and educational experiences and is able to work in a fast-paced setting characterized by diverse and complex tasks that change on a daily basis. As a member of our department’s auction and dinner fundraiser committee, Megan’s performance was outstanding. She handled the difficult task of chairing the silent and live auction sub-committee. Her attention to detail, dependability, and commitment was critical to the success of the event. I highly recommend, without reservation, Megan Story for a position as an Event Coordinator at Vina Robles. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or desire further information. Sincerely,
Bill Hendricks, Ph.D. Professor and Department Head
