It is my pleasure to include a letter of reference for Jason Genck . Jason is proving to be the exceptional park and recreation professional that we expected he would be from the time that he was a student at the University of St. Francis , to now, serving as a Director of Recreation Services with the Willamalane Park and Recreation District. Jason completed his Master's degree at Arizona State University following his experience with the City of Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library Department under the direct supervision of James Colley.

As an adjunct faculty member at the University of St. Francis , I recognized Jason's potential and leadership skills, and believe that he will rapidly advance to higher-level management positions. Having the opportunity to know Jason personally and professionally, he possesses qualities that set him apart from others; namely, concern for others, acute awareness, motivation, reliability and integrity. His technical skills place him far ahead of his peers. He handles assignments in a business like manner with self-assurance.

Jason will continue to excel as he accepts greater levels of management responsibility in the park and recreation profession.

Sincerely,

Ronald H. Dodd
Executive Director - Retired
Joliet, Illinois Park District
