Dear LNJ Application Committee,
I am writing to you on behalf of Inathe Saliani’s as regards her application for
Leadership New Jersey. I am the founder and Executive Director of the Garden
State Film Festival. I met Inathe and asked her to join our board in 2003 just
after our first event.
Inathe worked tirelessly on building the brand of the Garden State Film Festival,
marketing and increasing attendance and sponsorship. She jumped in with
both feet and really took charge of what she committed to. She understood the
mission of GSFF and worked within our guidelines. In addition to hard work,
determination and innovation idea, Inathe also brought several qualified board
members, volunteers and award recipients to the Festival.
Inathe is very selective with the programs that she commits to work with and is
very passionate about making a difference in the community. She is always the
first to lend a hand to someone in need.
Inathe was a board member from 2002-2007.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Diane Raver
Executive Director/Founder
