To whom it may concern,

January 8, 2009

I am pleased to provide a recommendation for Legacy Executive Search Partners.

United Way of Winnipeg recently engaged Legacy Partner to assist us in a comprehensive search process for two critical positions:
- Vice President Donor Relations and Resource Development
- Vice President Community Relations and Capacity Building

Legacy Partners was well prepared and provided us with a thorough overview of their process and took the time to ensure that they had a god understanding of both the organization and the positions we were recruiting. A valuable part of Legacy Partners service is their national candidate search which provides a larger pool of candidates.

In addition to the candidate search, Legacy Partners' services included initial candidate assessment and short listing, developing interview questions, facilitating the interviews, reference checking, and assisting with the analysis of short listed candidates.

As a result of this process, United Way of Winnipeg was able to secure two successful candidates that have been a great addition to our staff and will make an important contribution to the work of United Way.

If you have any questions about our experience with Legacy Partners, please contact me or Bev Passey, Vice President of Internal Relations and Operations.

Sincerely,
Susan Lewis
President
