It is with great excitement and high esteem that I construct this letter of professional recommendation for a colleague of mine I regard as highly as one could, Alicia Chandler. I consider myself blessed to have worked alongside Mrs. Chandler for the greater portion of 2 years at Spartan Solar and would gladly work alongside her again should the opportunity arise. From the moment we began working together, it was clear to me that Alicia was unlike the rest of our constituents at Spartan. Alicia was profoundly well-versed in both, becoming an immediate stop-gap for the infinitude of problems that would arise when working with such a team. She wore every hat imaginable, from taking on as austere responsibilities as creating, implementing, and operating a full-scale customer service solution company-wide for over 3,000 active clients, to managing the executive team's wardrobe and nutritional needs — and she did so with an astonishing consistency of quality and thoughtfulness. She was also routinely effective in managing the responsibilities of all logistics for executive and team events and travel and the week-by-week logistics of team sales blitzes. I'm still unsure today of just how an individual person was capable of managing so much logistical variance and demand on a regular basis without failure. I am confident that Alicia would be nothing short of the finest addition to an organization as someone could be, regardless of what it is they specialize in and regardless of what it is she would actively be responsible for.

I am pleased to recommend Alicia Chandler for any position requiring exceptional organizational skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to execute at the highest level. I had the privilege of working closely with Alicia during her time at Spartan Solar, where she consistently exceeded expectations in every aspect of her role. Alicia is a natural leader and was a true "go-to" person at Spartan Solar, seamlessly managing multiple priorities while keeping both internal operations teams and external parties aligned. She served as the primary gatekeeper between executive staff, team members, and customers, a role that required not only professionalism and discretion, but also the ability to anticipate needs and solve problems before they arose. In addition to her outstanding coordination skills, Alicia demonstrated remarkable versatility, stepping into many roles as needed: strategist, event planner, problem-solver, and execution lead. Her ability to take complex initiatives from concept to flawless execution made a lasting positive impact on our team and organization. I have full confidence that Alicia will bring the same level of excellence, adaptability, and commitment to any future endeavor. Any organization would be fortunate to have her on their team.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Ms. Alicia Chandler on numerous multi-million-dollar projects with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Indianapolis, Marion, and Ft. Wayne Indiana. As the Contracting Officer on these projects, I relied heavily on Ms. Chandler's Project Management skills to ensure each project came in on time, in budget and per the US Government's Specifications. Ms. Chandler's Project Management skills are summed up in her: Effective Communication — from the Kickoff Meeting to Completion ensuring all Functional Areas were aware of the Project at any given time, through Daily Reports, 3 Week Look Ahead and Project Schedules. Negotiation — Ensuring her organization and the US Taxpayer were at the forefront for all negotiations for Change Orders. Scheduling and Time Management — Ensured project stayed on schedule, meetings and reports were on time. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving — When she presented an issue she always followed up with a viable solution. It would be my honor to work with Ms. Chandler again and she would be a welcome addition to any Project Management Team.

I had the privilege of hiring Alicia Chandler as a consultant in 2023 while she was serving as Chief of Staff for Spartan Solar. I initially brought her on to bring structure to my business chaos, help organize my team, and create systems where I had none. Even though Alicia was dedicating 60+ hours a week to Spartan Solar, she still found the capacity to step into my environment with very little direction and deliver far more than I could have imagined. From the start, Alicia proved to be a force to be reckoned with. In all my years of working with assistants, consultants, and advisors, I have never encountered anyone with her unique combination of energy, brilliance, and execution. She thrives in spaces most people would avoid, and somehow makes the impossible seem effortless. What impressed me most was her ability to assess a situation quickly and provide a clear blueprint for moving forward. She didn't just react to what I needed — she anticipated it, built a framework around it, and created structure that allowed me to finally operate with clarity. Alicia also took on the management of four of my rental properties. She increased monthly revenue, remodeled two properties within budget, and never once missed a detail in communication or accountability. Anyone fortunate enough to bring Alicia onto their team will quickly realize how rare she is — a powerhouse of knowledge, creativity, and professionalism, wrapped in a personality that is both approachable and inspiring.

I have worked with Alicia Chandler since 2022. It is my pleasure to recommend her for the position of Business Development Manager in your company. Alicia and I had a very good relationship the time she was here at Sergeant. We came to know her as an invaluable asset to our team. She is kind, organized, reliable, confident and punctual. She has all the qualities and organization looks for in a good employee. Her skill set and expertise in the Construction Industry is priceless for the entire organization. She is a true team player. She has always managed to take the entire team forward with an infectiously positive attitude. Very few people have the energy to make peers passionate about their jobs. Alicia's knowledge and experience with Sergeant as a Senior Project Manager required varying levels of expertise that included leading project meetings, attending pre bid walk throughs, and business development. Alicia's super power as we described was her insatiable ability to make everyone she met feel like a partner and take real interest in what she had to say. Alicia will be beneficial to your company without a doubt.

I brought Alicia on as a freelance asset to support the operational and growth needs of Arizona Long Drive. What began as targeted assistance quickly evolved into a strategic partnership as her ability to organize, build relationships, and drive business development became immediately apparent. Alicia played a key role in expanding our partnerships, sponsorships, and overall visibility. In just a few months, she helped secure more sponsorship interest and partnership conversations than we had been able to achieve during our entire first season. Her approach to networking is both natural and strategic — she builds genuine connections, understands how to communicate value, and follows through with professionalism and consistency. One of Alicia's greatest strengths is her ability to think beyond the immediate scope of work. She helped organize and structure each competition with a clearer operational framework, supported logistics for events, and assisted with planning how Arizona Long Drive could grow beyond state lines. Through her outreach and relationship-building efforts, she established connections in multiple other states by traveling to golf courses, engaging with stakeholders, and positioning Arizona Long Drive as a serious contender for national expansion. What stood out most to me was Alicia's initiative and ownership. She did not wait for direction — she observed, identified gaps, and took action. I would highly recommend her to any organization or individual looking for someone who can bring structure to growth, build strong partnerships, and represent a brand with authenticity and confidence.
