I want to share with you a statement that I published in our employee handbook, as it very clearly states the way I feel about the Dalton staff and our community of friends:

" We will be driven by values, not short-term gain. We will be driven by what is right for you and our customers, not bottom-line profits. We will take care of the details, without losing our focus on the big picture. Lastly, we will do this together, because not a single one of us could achieve the Dalton mission on our own."

My commitment to my people, and to you, the Dalton customer, is unwavering. I'm proud to introduce my fine staff.
