The whole document looks to me to have been written by a secretary who may 
not have English as her (his) first language, and then been spelling 
corrected on a word processor, with the default selection used in each case 
instead of the correct selection for the word that was probably dictated by 
the boss, e.g. the bit quoted above is probably supposed to say 'they stay 
ahead of the pack'. The rest of it is probably due to selecting the default 
grammar correction, and if using M$ Word, this is likely to be anything but 
proper grammar, in my experience.

Looks to me like a stereotypical 'dumb blond' typist, who has an equally 
dumb boss who cannot correct bad grammar.
