To whom it may concern,

When I left my position as President for the Bathurst Arts and
Theatrical Society at the beginning of 2011 I knew I was leaving
the society in good hands.
In the three years I have known Shane his dedication to the arts
has not wavered, and his involvement in the community has only
grown. Shane has tirelessly provided assistance for our ongoing
projects, proving to be more than competent in the areas of
lighting and sound, production management and workshop
facilitation.
He has shown himself to be reliable both in the handling of
finance and scheduling of productions, displaying an ability to
work independently as well as in a team.
Along with this Shane has actively made himself available as a
mentor for our younger members, happily sharing his knowledge
and skills across all areas and promoting the creation of
independent work with our new generation of practitioners.

His participation in previous projects has been a huge benefit to
the society and greatly contributed to the recent successes of this
community endeavor. Reliable, driven and ambitious, Shane
should strongly be considered in this application, as he is more
than deserving of this opportunity.

Sincerely,
Alexander Hayden
BATS President 2010- 2011

To whom it may concern,

In my previous experience with Shane I have experienced
nothing short of the upmost professionalism. During the
three months he spent working as my assistant, Shane went
above and beyond the expectations of his position.
He was diligent, tenacious and incredibly trustworthy and
was a huge benefit to the production.
Exhibiting impeccable communication and organisational
skills, Shane went out of his way to assist all the departments
of our production and managed multiple tasks with relative
ease.
His commitment to his work is to be applauded, as is his
desire to learn and be mentored.
If considering Shane for a grant or position of employment I
would highly recommend him. He was an asset to our
production and I am sure he will continue to produce quality
work.
If there are any queries regarding my recommendation feel
free to contact me via email or my mobile.

Regards,
Sarah OBrien
