1. Letter of Recommendation for Jenna Walter Dec. 18, 2014
To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Jenna Walter for four years due to our common interest in Supply Chain
Management. As a leading author for the National Science Foundation writing one of the
first Supply Chain Management curriculum’s in the United States, I have been an
advocate encouraging smart, selective youth to major in Supply Chain Management. I
believe Jenna has the qualities to excel due to her self-motivation, energy and
organizational skills. She will be one of the first UNL graduating classes in our
profession in the state of Nebraska with a unique set of advanced business skills and is
keenly interested in advancing in a field where there is a shortage of highly qualified
college graduates today who have a analytical background in supply chain management,
business analytics and management systems through a continuous improvement lens. Not
only does she have the knowledge to achieve great financial benefits for any company
lucky enough to hire her. She has a working understanding of business operations
management through her various work experiences and international travels.
I have also had the opportunity to get to know Jenna on another level, through her
participation in the Young Leaders of Supply Chain Management during the past several
months. She enrolled as a Student Institute of Supply Management Nebraska member and
had the opportunity to back-pack across Europe, gaining an understanding of business in
the European nations. As a current Board Member and Past President of the Institute for
Supply Management for the state of Nebraska, I can identify Jenna as someone who will
be a key leader in her organization, as she is willing to take the initiative to voluntarily
take the lead or equally be a team player, due to her work-ethic and dependability.
In summary, I would recommend Jenna Walter for a position, as she has the future
growth potential to be an asset in several areas of expertise within your organization,
including but not limited to: operations management, finance, business analytics,
management information systems and/or supply chain management. I would strongly
encourage you to make the right choice and hire Jenna for your team.
Respectfully Submitted,
