To Whom It May Concern:
Please know that it is an honor for me to send this letter as a personal and professional reference for
Jackie Medina. Jackie has my highest level of respect and admiration. She has been a stellar example of
someone helping those less fortunate around the world and in our own community through her prestigious
professional career with the United Nations Children’s Fund ( UNICEF ), Wilhelm Scholê International,
and her career with other significant organizations.
Jackie served as my Development Associate at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for ten years. Her
extraordinary managerial and marketing skills along with her strong work ethic and integrity helped us
raise millions of dollars for UNICEF’s long-term and emergency relief programs worldwide.
Jackie assisted me in the management of our regional operations including: Board Development, Major
Donor Development, Volunteer Development, Public Relations, and Special Event Management. Jackie
was instrumental in working on many major special events which raised millions of dollars for our cause.
She has extensive experience with successfully managing six and seven figure special events.
I have also had the privilege and pleasure of employing Jackie as a consultant to manage two major
special events at Wilhelm Scholê International, including public relations and financial management.
One of the world’s pressing needs is the uplifting of humanity through education, healthcare, and basic
human kindness. Jackie has dedicated her life to this noble goal. Jackie strives for excellence in all she
commits to and has the highest integrity in her personal and professional life.
Jackie inspires everyone who comes to know her. Her creative energy is extraordinary. I give Jackie
Medina my highest personal and professional recommendation. She is a role model for many, and would
be a great asset to any organization.
Sincerely yours,
John M. Tsacrios, Jr.
Partner, Wilhelm Scholê International
Founding Executive Regional Director, U.S. Fund for UNICEF ( 1982-2008 )
