To Whom lt May Concern:
Darryl Black was hired at the NC Office of the State Auditor in October of 2005 as a
technical Program Auditor. He was initially considered for a position in the section reviewing
non-profit agency reporting. At that time, I served as the Chief Deputy State Auditor, where I
was responsible for the day to day management of the Office. The Deputy State Auditor
recommended Mr. Black for consideration in the Performance Audit section, following his
interview for the non-profit review team position.
Upon joining the Auditor's Office, Mr. Black quickly began making positive contributions
to improve office efficiency in developing and presenting training materials. He also
investigated the possibility of having performance auditors to take Six Sigma training at NC
State University, to improve their program evaluation skills. However, due to funding shortfalls,
the agency was unable to pursue this project. Mr. Black has always demonstrated a positive
and enthusiastic work attitude, and he has performed all duties in an ethical manner.
Mr. Black was valuable in identifying items in performance audits to which he was
assigned which resulted in savings to the agency under review. He has solid writing skills, and
takes the extra effort to investigate and recommend items which will benefit taxpayers, state
agencies, and the legislature in his conclusions. Mr. Black is able to work in difficult situations
to ascertain the relevant facts and make useful recommendations for resolution of audit issues.
I commend Darryl Black to you for employment. He is an employee who works diligently
on projects, develops creative solutions to problems, and goes above and beyond the call of
duty to bring projects in to completion. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further
assistance.
Sincerely,
Cio^" ,dfl.!A^-

To Whom It May Concern:
As co-principal investigator, I had the pleasure of working with Darryl Black on the NSF TECH-
know project. The TECH-know project was funded with a $1.1 million National Science
Foundation (NSF # 0095726) grant to NC State University. This project developed effective
instructional materials for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) studies.
It was a collaborative effort between selected state departments of education, universities,
businesses, and the national TSA (Technology Student Association). From 2001-2004, more than
140 technology education teachers, technology teacher educators, Technology Student
Association (TSA) Curriculum Resource Committee members, and business representatives
from across the country worked together to develop quality, standards-based units of
instruction based on the Standards for Technological Literacy, National Science Education
Standards, Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and TSA activities.
My involvement with the TECH-know program consisted of ensuring that TECH-know
instructional modules adhered to stringent NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI)
technology education standards. As the Industry and Business Advisor for TECH-know, Darryl
Black selected and recruited industry partners including NASA, Solectron, Progress Energy,
Kimbley-Horn, Mulkey Engineering, CC Mangum, Caterpillar, and Quintiles. These business
partners evaluated and provided a current “real-world perspective” of engineering and medical
instructional units for the classroom. Darryl also worked with TSA.
Darryl performed his work diligently and with a high degree of competence. He worked well
with all and was a fine team player. If I can assist him in securing the position he is seeking,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
