ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In writing this book, we referenced many sources to confirm guidelines we used throughout our professional careers while working with a variety of Fortune 500 companies. In addition, we used our own book, the Administrative Assistant’s and Secretary’s Handbook, as a source for content on language usage, grammar, and punctuation. We therefore thank James Stroman, who coauthored the Administrative Assistant’s and Secretary’s Handbook.

The following is a list of sources we referenced while writing this book to confirm the accuracy of our content:
