Cascade AIDS Project Reference from Supervisor


February, 2015


To whom it may concern,


This letter serves to share my experience of working with Carlton Rounds at the Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) over the past two years. During that time I have worked as a supervisor to Mr.Rounds in his position as a CareLink Service Navigator. Carlton has impressed me since the first day that I met him in his job interview, and he has continued to impress and inspire me for as long as I've known him. Carlton's performance in his role as a service navigator, and his contributions to our work environment at CAP, have been paramount to the impact and success we've had in supporting the efforts of our clients to reach their healthcare and other life goals.

Sharing his combined personal and professional experiences, Carlton has been an exceptional advocate and case manager for his clients. Carlton sees the bigger picture in terms of how a multitude of factors impact a client's ability to improve engagement with medical care. He examines all aspects of a client's life and interests to help empower them to make positive and healthy decisions in their lives. He relates well and builds rapport with our diverse range of clients, and he encourages them to identify and utilize their strengths to achieve their goals.Through empathy, compassion, honesty and trust, Carlton connects with his clients no matter what their background or circumstance may be.They find common ground and work together to help the clients improve their own lives.

Carlton has been a tremendous asset in terms of cultivating relationships with community
partners that support our work and the needs of our clients. He cooperates effectively with
other service providers and has initiated new contacts with agencies and resources that help us serve our mission. Carlton is quick to lend support to colleagues inside and outside of CAP,whether it be related to a specific client concern, or any other issue. This is only one example of the many ways that Carlton devotes his time and energy to helping others, both here locally and in other parts of the world as well.

Carlton is exceptionally intelligent, compassionate, focused and driven. He is a thoughtful
observer and communicator, a strategic forward-thinker and a fair and caring leader. Carlton is an unwavering and relentless advocate for our clients and community, and he does everything in his power to strengthen the integrity of and dedication to our agency's mission.

I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to know and work with Carlton Rounds. I have learned so much from him both personally and professionally, and I am grateful for the positive impact that he's had on me and on so many others. Carlton has performed incredibly well throughout the time we've worked together and I am completely confident that he will continue to bring the same skill and energy to all of his future endeavors. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of service in any way.


Sincerely,

Adam Kutrumbos
