Dear Ms. Holland-Wagner,
It is an honor to provide this Letter of Recommendation to the Yountville Arts Commission on behalf of Dr. Linda F. Faber, applicant to the Board of Commissioners.
I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Linda in a social, professional & personal manner since the Pandemic; Linda was one of the first members of Napa Valley Country Club who encouraged me to join one of the social organizations at the Club; thanks to her welcoming nature, true commitment to inclusion, and her organizational skills, I continue to participate in that activity consistently.
Her willingness to mentor, lead & encourage others to be their best in any situation has allowed many around her to become stalwarts of several community initiatives. Linda exemplifies grace, kindness, heart and purpose toward all she works alongside and in all she touches.
Linda is a dedicated community influencer, from passions such as the arts and sciences, education, and music, to social engagement through lifestyle choices. Her more than 30 years in medical research, training, implementation of protocols and systems, and her dedication to community wellness continues to be a skill base so paramount to the success of all-sized public and private organizations including:
