Letters of Recommendation (2)
To Whom It May Concern;
Mr. Mark Holmes has been an advocate for professionalism in the community since the day I met him in 2016. Mr. Holmes professional background includes 20+ years of strategic business marketing and management for Xerox and several other companies. In this initial meeting he was willing to offer his unequivocal wealth of knowledge on business, professional etiquette, the importance of tact and punctuality, and an array of constructive leadership skill-based sessions to the scholars who attended the school.
Even more amazing with this gentleman, is the fact that he never once sent a representative to give these sessions. His dedication to deliver the messages of the sessions personally, offering the most valuable asset of all by volunteering his time. Mr. Holmes would personally present and interact with the scholars assisting in reinforcing pertinent communication skills that will forever continue to positively alter the trajectory of those scholars’ lives.
Mr. Holmes remains active in the community after the closing of Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for Public Policy by the continued mentoring of scholars in the community at large as well as on campuses of other schools across the District of Columbia’s educational community.
It would be a grave injustice to not include Mr. Mark Holmes and his program in any institution proposing to propel scholastic and life achievement.
Respectfully,
