I have known Dan for two years. He is among a select group of highly motivated GSPIA students who are chosen each year to participate in the Leadership Portfolio Program (LPP). This leadership development program helps exceptional students develop their leadership potential through a combination of classroom and community-based activities. Among other activities, these students have the opportunity to serve as members of a nonprofit governing board, they receive one-on-one mentoring from a community leader, and, they engage in a series of additional activities to help them reflect on and practice their leadership skills. Through this program, Dan has made a remarkably strong impression, not only on me, but on his hosts in the community-based organization he has served, the Board of The Forbes Funds. Dan has strong analytical and communication skills and a very mature understanding of how organizations function toward fulfillment of their mission. Dan also assisted us in many of the other activities of the Johnson Institute and the Philanthropy Forum. including being on hand for many lectures, seminars and events hosted by the organization. At these events, Dan was remarkably helpful with the multitude of logistical details necessary to large events. His grace, strength and attentive intelligence was incredibly helpful to the success of these events. He was instrumental in the Pittsburgh Philanthropy Project oral history tapings that took place at the WQED studio, in which 40 philanthropic leaders of Pittsburgh were interviewed over the course of several months. In short, I give Dan Stiker a very high recommendation and would be happy to talk with you further about his qualifications. Sincerely, Lydia Roberson Administrator Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership/GSPIA
