Acknowledgments
The end of this long journey affords me a chance to reflect on the support I have received from my family, friends, and colleagues. Special thanks go to Dr. David Leslie, whose patience and persistence as my coach enabled me to complete this project. I could not have done it without your balance of challenge and support. Thanks also go to Dr. Dot Finnegan, whose belief in me and in the potential for a meaningful product gave me confidence when I needed it. I will carry with me your dedication to listening for the student voice and to owning the project throughout my career. Gratitude is also due to my colleague and friend, Dr. Carlane Pittman, whose advice, support, and friendship were so important to the successful completion of this text. A special thanks goes to Mr. George Srour, whose inspiring life and experiences as a student and servant leader sparked my interest in this area of study. I continue to be impressed and inspired by your leadership of Building Tomorrow.
