RE: Support for Gordon Hughes Soderberg and Veterans Green Village To Whom it may concern:
It is with tremendous respect, admiration, and gratitude that I express my endorsement of Gordon Soderberg and his leadership for the Veterans Green Village and other initiatives that marshall critical resources towards improving the common good.
My collaborative work with a range of youth serving and community based organizations in Detroit has been strengthened by Gordon’s dedication and leadership. I offer this letter as a testament to the determination and drive that Gordon brings to his work and I urge you to give him every consideration as a partner.
I work for a national environmental organization, but my focus area is steeped in local partnerships on the local and regional level in and around Detroit, MI. In the years since meeting Gordon, he has consistently found opportunities to connect with our work and help us work through challenges that we’d be hard pressed to navigate on our own.
A centerpiece of my work has been a partnership effort to reactivate a long dormant campground in Detroit, the only one to exist in the entire city. Gordon, along with the resources of the Veterans Green Village, has matched our enthusiasm with his own deep well of energy and technical skill on numerous occasions. In each instance, he left an impression on our work that continues to advance our mission and improve the lives of Detroiters.
While I recognize that Gordon’s leadership and dedication goes beyond the scope of the Veterans Green Village, I hope that this brief letter will serve as a testament to the significant impact that Gordon has had on our work even while he serves and supports other organizations in his network. Gordon’s dedication, expertise, and drive multiplied our own commitment of time and resources and I have every confidence that he adds this to all of the other partners in his network. I encourage you to give firm and enthusiastic consideration to any opportunity to engage with him and with the Veterans Green Village organization.
Sincerely,
Garrett Dempsey Program Director
