To Whom It May Concern:

I write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Mr. Mike Conner.   I have known him well for sixteen years. I first met him when I became President of Concordia in 1991 and I have worked with him in a variety of professional tasks since then.  I give him my highest recommendation as a person of integrity, a responsible worker and a businessman who has provided excellent service at Concordia.  He catered several events at Concordia and understands people, food and good business practices well.   He is honest and caring;  he wants every event to be a successful meaningful experience for those who plan the event and for those who participate.  In the planning process, he listens carefully asking pertinent questions.  At an event, he is a gracious host as he provides good food. I have heard nothing but praise about his attitude, skill and working relationship from staff here with whom he has planned and conducted events. 

I also know him as a talented and successful professor who teaches and mentors others well.  Colleagues admire him and enjoy working with him.  In summary, I have enjoyed working with Mr. Conner and have appreciated the quality of his work and the way he conducts himself and his business.  I give him my highest recommendation without reservation.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert Holst

President
