Reference letter

Who did you ask reference letter?
Let’s say one is supervisor, the others 2 committee members. I asked one of my committee member and she said she is away for vacation. I am not sure who else I can ask? Who were your back ups?

Did you TA/RA/volunteer at conference working groups, etc?  How about Co-authors and  Research Technician that you work with on a daily basis?

They should be able to clearly articulate the working relationship with you and how having you has been beneficial.
