Dear Dr. Long,

On behalf of the Lebanon Community Schools Board of Trustees, the building administrators, and the central office administrative team I would like to convey our heartfelt appreciation for your contribution to our recent administrative retreat.

The full day presentation you provided on the topic of "Professional Staff Evaluation" was not only informative in nature and content, but it was profoundly inspirational in delivery and message. The combination of your insightful observations and passionate comments provided a learning experience that was professionally enlightening and personally meaningful. Your presentation was truly the foundational underpinning of one of the most successful administrative retreats that has been experienced here in Lebanon. As an administrative team we truly benefited from your expertise and professionalism.

It is with the strongest sense of collegial appreciation that I express my sincere gratitude for your time and efforts on behalf of the Lebanon Community School Corporation. Thank you for a job well done.

Sincerely,

Ralph L. Walker
Superintendent of Schools
Lebanon Community School Corporation
