236 South Notre Dame Avenue <br />South Bend, IN 46617 <br />Ms. Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />125 S Lafayette Boulevard #100 <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Ms. Feasel, et al. <br />August 2, 2017 <br />I am excited to submit the following application for the position of Deputy Director with the Historic Preservation <br />Commission of St. Joseph County. <br />I am currently the Public Programs Coordinator in the Marketing Department at The HistoryMuseurn here in South <br />Bend, where I am responsible for contacting, scheduling, and hosting our speakers, performances, specialty tours, <br />and promotional events. Reaching out and building relationships with individuals and organizations from diverse <br />backgrounds and professions remains the highlight of my current position. I succeed in this role because of <br />thorough event planning and research, conscientious and thoughtful appreciation of my constituents and guests, and <br />effective and timely communication with my partners. As an example, I arranged for May's lecturer to be Mr. John <br />Parsons, Vice President of Planning and Marketing with the Northern Indiana Commuter Transit District (1`IICTD). <br />His lecture coincided to the day with the vote in the State legislature to fund the railway's "double -track initiative," <br />which plans to drastically reduce transit times to and from South Bend. <br />Prior to moving to South Bend I completed my Bachelors of Arts in History at Purdue University West Lafayette, <br />focusing on the history of technology and innovation (where I worked closely with Professors Michael G. Smith and <br />Vernard Foley). History remains my greatest passion. Sharing that passion is my greatest pleasure — both in my <br />hobbies (with over two decades of living history experience) and in my professional pursuits. Behind my academic <br />success lies a foundation of sixteen years of customer service experience; this provides invaluable insight in my <br />daily exchanges and interactions and ensures that I am constantly aware of the human element in all of my activities. <br />I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experiences, qualifications, and interests can benefit the <br />Historic Preservation Commission and assist in the execution of its mission. Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Adam Toering <br />C: 765.637.8998 <br />E: actoering@gmail.com <br />
