Re: Letter of Referral

Dear Cheryl Steeper,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your service as a partner with Xilinx for our trade show program over the last 3 1/2 years.

When you came on board, our exhibit house had closed without notice and our trade show specialist was one person handling 25+ shows per year in North America.  You stepped right in and assisted with the coordination of a major show that spring, which resulted in a continued relationship with Xilinx.

Over the last three years, you have helped streamline our existing trade show planning process into a very efficient program.  Your recommendations for program enhancement proved to be an asset to us, including the trade show database and reporting, consistent post show reports and recommendations, as well as other program enhancements.

You and your staff that have worked for Xilinx have proven to be stellar in this business and would surely be a valuable asset to others in the industry. Thank you, Best of Show, for your excellent service; your expertise will surely be missed!

Best regards,
Kathleen Pizzo
Sr. Manager, Marketing Communications
