This	
  letter	
  is	
  to	
  recommend	
  Shireen	
  Dabbah	
  for	
  the	
  position	
  of	
  public	
  relations	
  and	
  
fundraising	
  manager.	
  As	
  a	
  former	
  co-­‐worker	
  of	
  Ms.	
  Dabbah	
  I	
  can	
  confirm	
  her	
  
professionalism,	
  expertise	
  and	
  diligence	
  as	
  a	
  communicator.	
  I	
  was	
  pleased	
  to	
  work	
  
with	
  Ms.	
  Dabbah	
  from	
  our	
  Ramallah	
  office	
  where	
  as	
  director	
  of	
  communication	
  she	
  
was	
  entrusted	
  to	
  coordinate	
  extensive	
  and	
  often	
  highly	
  sensitive	
  relations	
  with	
  the	
  
Palestinian	
  Authority,	
  U.S.	
  government	
  agencies,	
  private	
  businesses	
  across	
  the	
  West	
  
Bank	
  and	
  in	
  Gaza	
  and	
  the	
  U.S.	
  Embassy.	
  In	
  this	
  capacity,	
  Ms.	
  Dabbah	
  established	
  
strong	
  working	
  relationships	
  with	
  our	
  counterparts	
  and	
  was	
  instrumental	
  in	
  
promoting	
  all	
  manner	
  of	
  communication,	
  including	
  social	
  media,	
  website	
  
development,	
  presentations,	
  reporting	
  and	
  numerous	
  public	
  forums.	
  Ms.	
  Dabbah	
  is	
  a	
  
terrific	
  leader	
  with	
  a	
  positive	
  attitude.	
  It	
  was	
  a	
  great	
  pleasure	
  to	
  work	
  with	
  her.	
  	
  
	
  
For	
  more	
  than	
  20	
  years	
  I	
  have	
  hired	
  specialists	
  for	
  highly	
  competitive	
  professional	
  
positions	
  in	
  the	
  Middle	
  East	
  and	
  Europe.	
  Were	
  I	
  in	
  the	
  position	
  to	
  do	
  so	
  I	
  would	
  not	
  
hesitate	
  to	
  hire	
  Ms.	
  Dabbah	
  for	
  any	
  senior	
  position	
  in	
  communication.
