DEDICATIONI would like to thank my personal network and my family for supporting me during my two years of intensely devoted study.To my mom, whom I can thank for always setting the bar high and inspiring me to believe that I could be a CEO or anything else my heart desired. To my husband of 25 years, Victor, and our daughters, Stephanie, Lindsay, and Emma: I know that I have been distant, stressed, and mostly unavailable while juggling the pursuit of a full-time graduate degree and a full-time administrative faculty role, with the latter tasking me to launch a new executive graduate program for UNLV and obtain first-time program accreditation.
