FROM CITY OF HOUSTON, 

Waynette Chan

Chief of Staff, Public Works and Engineering

 

 

 

Dear Chin-ning,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can't think
of any words to accurately describe my appreciation
for your time, effort and presentation.  

 

   Once I found my car keys and started driving home,
my Blackberry kept going off so that by the time 
I walked into my apartment, there must have been a 
dozen or more emails expressing delight at the gift 
you gave to our employees both professionally
and personally. There were voicemail messages on my 
home phone that reiterated the email messages. 
The least of the communications said you gave them 
something to think about,the most said you confirmed and 
expanded their tool boxes as a manager and as a 
human being. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
You were a bolt of lightening! 

As you and I discussed,I will begin a series of brown bag
lunches to keep the stimulation up and provide a forum
for questions, exchange of experiences and give support
to those who are the future leaders of our city. Several
of the participants expressed interest and I believe it is
important to feed the seeds that you planted so well. 
  

I am writing to you from my personal email. Please add
me to your list of friends and let me know how you are 
doing and where you are appearing. I will be business
traveling some during the next few months and if we 
are in the same city,I will sneak into one of your appearances. 

In the meantime, know that you have a lifelong friend here in Houston.

 

With the greatest affection and respect,

Waynette
