Examples of feedback, press, awards and documentation from outside sources provide evidence of the impact and influence my work has had through the lens of others. Reflecting the more public work I complete as a community development practitioner, the included evidence supports statements made regarding servant-leadership, humanist and radical approaches to serving others. Most recognition has come from formal institutions within the community but in support of the less-formal actions I take as a community leader. In compiling evidence and evaluation in support of my professional practice there was minimal available related to the formal or professional roles I have held.

Awards

Highlighting grassroots volunteer efforts and community leadership roles, recognition has been bestowed upon me by employers and my alma mater. Identifying an ability to build empathy with others and work across sectors or disciplines, the awards and recognition received are often for efforts outside of those related to roles with the granting organizations themselves. Humble in receipt of such recognition, I often prefer not to receive such attention for my contributions as I feel a sense of duty to take such action in service of the individuals and communities that have provided me with so much.

Letters of Reference

In recognition of the work I complete outside areas of direct interest, the reference letters I receive are from leaders within their respective organizations. Identifying my ability to shape programs at the strategic level while focusing on the needs of the end users, the positive, enthusiastic and progressive approaches I take to completing work are highlighted by many. Although in quantity the letters received in support of my professional practice are not numerous those I have received come from organization and individuals whom I highly respect and feel a noble sense of duty in supporting.

Press

Sourced primarily from local newspaper publications, the press I receive focuses on work completed under the Civic Engagement and Community Leadership strands of my practice. Recognizing a creative approach to the work I complete, most press is positive in nature while often overlooking the legalities related to such work. Lacking in the press is mention of the influence my work has had on more formalized and permanent efforts developed by local municipalities and organizations. This lack of documentation is primarily due to official programming receiving far less media attention or failing to note the originating source of such programs.

Professional Evaluations

Evaluations included below identify a competency for understanding vast subject matters and a natural ability to effectively convey this information to others. Performing above expectations on a regular basis, my supervisors recognize my high-achieving ability and how I often bestow this onto others so that all can succeed to their greatest potential. Unfortunately, there are few evaluations to include here as evidence related to work completed as an adult educator. Given the lack of process for such evaluations of performance in specific roles, and the fact that I do not have access to the evaluation records I have received in the past, there are few examples to illustrate the impact I have made in adult education specific roles.

Testimonials

Offered by former employers, colleagues and clients, the testimonials included here have been primarily collected through LinkedIn. Identifying an ability to create impact across sectors through innovative and creative means, the testimonials below indicate that I am a committed and generous individual. Understanding larger strategic concepts and the minutia of tactical implementations, and possessing the ability to draw connections between the two, are common comments from those I have supported both in volunteer and professional capacities. Given my work as an adult educator is often secondary to other roles, comments regarding this strand of my practice are lacking amongst the testimonials included.
