Is it ok to ask another Director for a letter of recommendation? She is aware I’m looking at other options. She is not my direct supervisor but I report metrics to her.

    Yes, as long as she has your Best interest at heart. A true mentor and a true Director will give you a recommendation and will be a confidante at the same time.

    100% okay to ask, especially if it's someone who can also speak to your work ethic, contributions to the team/organization, etc.

    Of course. This is a great idea.
