BOARD OF DIRECTORS Dr. Todd Brist Jodi Driscoll November 10, 2023 Julie Fuerstenau Sheriff Brad Howell Jennifer Harms To whom it may concern; Lindsay Hills Jason Hutt It is a privilege to share my support and recommendation for Hailey Rau in her Ashley Johnson pursuit of Graduate School. As an employee of the Boys & Girls Club of Watertown, I have had the pleasure of knowing and collaborating with Hailey Rau Lisa Johnson for the last year as we have worked together to help youth within the Youth Dr. Michael Johnson Diversion Program. Hailey has been a tremendous partner and a valuable asset to the Ken Lacher youth and families we serve, and I want to take this opportunity to recommend Mrs. Dr. Jon McAreavey Rau for your graduate program. Jeremy McBurney Jenna Moffatt Hailey’s assistance has been most valuable in our diversion program. Working with Lydia Newman youth involved in legal trouble is challenging work, and it is so true that it takes a Kristina Pearson village to raise a child. In an effort to get youth the support and redirection they Janine Rew-Werling need, I am always looking for help in the community, and Hailey has become my Alex Rieffenberger first phone call in most situation because of her passion and dedication for the youth David Schmidt we serve. As an example of her dedication, creativity and involvement, Hailey is the Randy Tupper reason we have reduced youth tobacco/vape citations by 77% in the last year. Her Becky Weber advice has been a great help to both myself and the members she has worked with Gary Weckwerth through these programs, and we are seeing great results. Curt Wilhelmi I feel confident that Hailey will continue to succeed in her studies in the area of BOARD OF TRUSTEES social work. In the time that I have known Hailey, she has been very dedicated to Tom Burns helping people, especially those in difficult situations. It is for these reasons that I Lisa Carrico offer high recommendations for Hailey without reservation. Her drive and abilities Dale Christensen will truly be an asset to your program. If you have any questions regarding this Fred Deutsch recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
