Отрывок из книги

I dedicate this book to my wonderful family.

Mom and Dad, as a little girl you challenged me to experiment, encouraged me to step up to new experiences, instilled curiosity in me, and showed me the world beyond Western Pennsylvania. You gave me wings to fly to any career that captured my attention – mathematician, computer scientist, arts business manager, singer – and I chose to come home. Dad, I am proud to be walking in your footsteps, and I look forward to building the Bill Byham legacy into the DDI of the next 45 years. And, Mom, I learned a tremendous amount by your side as you continue to speak with your heart and pride to inspire volunteers and community leaders. You both have been absolutely the best leadership models for me, and I am grateful to be a reflection of the two of you.
