Dear Los Alamos County Council and Community Members,

This is a letter of support for Ms. Melanee M. Hand for the position of Los Alamos County Council. I believe you will find Melanee’s’ background in organizational management, environmental design, and architectural landscape valuable qualifications for the position of Los Alamos County Council. 

I have known Melanee for over fifty years.  Her qualities include loyalty, compassion, a high intellect, integrity, a strong work ethic, the ability to work with in any environment with a diverse group of people, as evidenced by her participation on various Los Alamos County boards and committees and her experience working for the Los Alamos National Laboratory for over twenty years.

I know that Melanee would be a strong team player on your council with an insight into any problems that might arise.  Melanee has the ability to research a problem, gather facts, present alternatives, and make recommendations based on those facts.

She is the fairest minded person I know.  She is the first person I would call under almost any situation to get sound advice or someone to lean on.

I would not hesitate to recommend Melanee M. Hand for the position of Los Alamos County Council.
