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.
