Dedications
For my husband, Ted, who unselfishly continues to take on more than his share to support me throughout the process; and for my children, Laura, Carolyn, and Teddy, whose encouragement and love have been inspiring.
Mary Anne Poatsy
I dedicate this book to three people who had a significant impact on my career. Penny Sumpter, my high school business teacher, taught me about professionalism and paying attention to details; she inspired me to become a business educator. Dr. Amanda Copeland, the department chair while I completed my bachelor’s degree, was an excellent mentor and visionary. Barbra Hoge, my first department chair at Utah Valley State College, was a strong leader and advocate for her faculty; her leadership serves as a role model for me in my capacity as department chair today.
Keith Mulbery
I dedicate this book in loving memory of my grandfather Laurence L. Leggett. A passionate lifelong educator, gifted musician, and incredible role model. I will never forget our time together. I strive every day to make you proud.
Jason Davidson
To my husband Dan, whose encouragement, patience, and love helped make this endeavor possible. Thank you for taking on the many additional tasks at home so that I could focus on writing.
