At this time of year, when people’s thoughts naturally turn to fond memories of holidays past, I’d like to take a moment to focus on the present and the future. This month I have had the opportunity to travel around to visit a number of shareholders. I return from these meetings wiser and feeling even prouder of where we are today as a company, and where we’re headed.  

Everywhere I go, I’m reminded of the terrific people that make up Clearfield. Whether it’s the technical geniuses that drive our product innovations, the sales and service people who strive to make each client experience a positive one, or our diverse group of shareholders, we all have a literal and emotional stake in the success of this business. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your commitment to Clearfield. Your gifts are great, and certainly appreciated. Without you, 2015 would not have been so full of remarkable achievements and proud moments. Without you, we would not be the successful company we are now and will continue to be.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with family and friends, and the New Year brings you joy, success and happiness.
