Bio
Debbi Mallinson
I am pleased to write this Letter of Recommendation for Janel Hebert, Esq. Janel and I first met in 2008 as volunteers for our local elementary and middle school PTO organizations, where we both went on to serve in Board positions. Over the years, our relationship built into a strong friendship as Janel has so many of the qualities and personality traits that I admire. She is honest, fun, hard-working, flexible, organized, creative, and loyal. In our work on the PTO, Janel helped rewrite the organization's bylaws; assisted with parliamentary procedure, Robert’s Rules of Order; ran fundraising events; and served in positions of Activities Coordinator and President. I relied on Janel as someone that would jump in and get things done so she and I often partnered on many of the organization’s initiatives. Janel is extremely organized and is also artistic, she often added personal creative touches to things, such as creating handmade thank you notes with artwork to small gifts for teachers. Over the years, I have come to rely on Janel not only as a close friend, but she is also my go-to person for legal expertise. She provided me with sound legal advice when creating my business and helped me develop a business contract to use with clients. I again relied on her when working to pursue a refund for a trip that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I do not hesitate to recommend Janel Hebert, I feel that she would be an asset to any organization that she joins.
