LETTER OF RECCOMENDATION
To Whom It May Concern:
The letter will serve as my personal work recommendation for Jeff Farr. I acted
as his manager
at Election Systems & Software from May 2001 through April 2003, and take pride
in the fact
that I hired him. I was the Director of Professional Services for an area coveri
ng Canada,
California, Arizona, Washington, Colorado, Mississippi, Indiana, Texas, Maryland
and New
Jersey.
Jeff was assigned to work as senior project manager for several installations du
ring his tenure on
my team. During my tenure he was lead in Spokane County, WA; Cochise County, AZ;
Mesa
County, CO; five counties in Mississippi; and Chambers County, TX. Many of these
implementations occurred in tandem. Jeff's ability to maneuver multiple accounts
was
exceptional, as he assumed full responsibility for managing/scheduling resources
, tasks,
training clients, and ensuring successful and effective first elections. His tot
al financial
responsibility in year #1 alone exceeded $15,000,000.
In addition, Jeff provided ancillary support (frequently with last minute notice
) in several other
jurisdictions within my territory and others: City of Toronto, ON, City of Edmon
ton, Alberta;
City of St. Albert, Alberta; South Shields, United Kingdom; City/County of San F
rancisco;
Maricopa County, Arizona; San Mateo County, California; Bexar County (San Antoni
o) and
Dallas County, Texas to name a few.
Jeff did a variety of things well including: poll worker training, acting as a t
echnical specialist in
election central, retrieving results via modem transmission, etc. This versatili
ty required that he
be thoroughly competent in several versions of software and all company hardware
types
(including central count tabulators, OMR tabulators, touch screen systems, etc.)
Jeff was
frequently requested for ancillary support - and he was always ready to go anywh
ere he was
asked - no matter how late the notice.
Some of Jeff's greatest assets, however, included things such as outstanding wri
tten and verbal
communication, an unparalleled work ethic, and an unexplainable ability to keep
election
directors, city/county clerks, etc., incredibly "calm" and satisfied - even unde
r tenuous
circumstances. At all times, Jeff represented ES&S professionally and competentl
y. I
considered Jeff one of the best on my team. Nearly every client he worked with m
ade a point to
call and request (sometimes demand) his return. That's the true measure of succe
ss.
It's with no hesitation that I recommend Jeff Farr for any position involving se
nior project
management and helping any organization improve client satisfaction. Feel free t
o contact me
should you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Joann D. Cox (Duimstra)
