In 2008 San Francisco International Airport had announced a plan to renovate and reopen Terminal 2. Assistant deputy director of aviation security Kim Dickie had selected Quantum Secure's SAFE software suite as the new credentialing system, but she needed to develop a business case quickly that would give the green light to the purchase. The case describes a scenario that occurs frequently in the real world, in which a decision offers some real but qualitative value in ways that are difficult or impossible to quantify.

It receives multiple modes of transportation - linking cars, buses, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system and the internal light rail system."--BOOK JACKET.

This inspiring picture-book biography about Nancy Pelosi shows her journey from the child of Baltimore's mayor to her marble-ceiling-shattering four terms as Speaker of the House, including the historic events of January 6th, 2021. Nancy Pelosi grew up watching her father, the mayor of Baltimore, welcome in people of all different backgrounds to sit at their table and make their voices heard. Nancy's mother always stood beside him, working behind the scenes to help her husband and the people he served. When Nancy grew up, she continued working behind the scenes in politics until a friend asked her to run for Congress herself--jump-starting a 33 year career as a political representative and taking her higher than she could have once imagined. Young girls, especially, will be inspired by Nancy's journey and her commitment to using her voice to help others and to make sure women are heard in government. The backmatter also includes an exclusive interview with Nancy Pelosi herself.
