"I have worked with Darlene Sears for approximately 7 years in
various capacities related to web site maintenance and development.
Darlene has always proven to be extremely capable, thorough, reliable
and creative. She fully managed the 4-H Ontario website maintenance
and training of volunteer web masters. In addition, Darlene has proven
to be very adept at testing site and code functions and expected performance.
Darlene is always very fast to learn new skills and is not afraid of
new technology or ideas. Most importantly, Darlene is a real pleasure
to work with and would be a tremendous addition to any group or program."

her skills and abilities quite well. She is very knowledgeable on website
design and maintenance. She works extremely well with graphic designers
and management to incorporate their ideas into the web pages. One of
the outstanding skills Darlene provides is her tenacity to get a problem
resolved. She also brings a real passion for her work"

Darlene's knowledge and attention to detail in managing the organization's
website is to be commended. We left Darlene to her job; she was current
on keeping the site up to date and making suggestions for improvements.
She was also very concerned with the users comments and was dedicated
to doing her best work - always.

“In 1998 Dufferin 4-H started using the web page provided by
Ontario 4-H on their website. Ongoing training and excellent support
was provided by Darlene Sears, as the Ontario Webmaster. It is because
of her dedication to the local webmasters under her wing, that we were
able to provide our associations with up to date information about clubs,
opportunities and the fun our members were having. She encouraged us
to network, supporting and encouraging us when we had "technical
difficulties" and working through them with us. Ms Sears is conscientious,
knowledgeable, detail driven and a real pleasure to work with. I would
highly recommend her to any company or association looking for someone
to update their website content in a timely and competent manner.”

“It is my privilege to tell you a little about Darlene Sears.
I have known Darlene for over 15 years. In the last few years I have
called on her a number of times to help me resolve many of my computer
problems. She has been indispensable to me. I run a small home based
business and I find it easy to ask Darlene to help walk me through any
issues that come up. Without her help I would spend far too much time
away from my desk and lose valuable work time. If she is unable to walk
me through problems she has e-mailed me step-by-step instructions or
has visited me on-site. I have always been happy with her prompt and
skilled service.”
