The last one probably caught your attention, so let’s begin there.  Congratulations go out to Dianna and her family, who are expecting their second child at the end of March.  Sadly, Dianna will move her growing clan closer to extended family in New Mexico.  As many of you know, Dianna was Steve’s first employee and has helped build the company that DTC is today.  While she will no longer serve as head of the Grand Junction office, she will work remotely from New Mexico for DTC.

Please join us in welcoming Jim Dillon to DTC’s Grand Junction office.  Jim will run the Grand Junction office and serve as Vice President - Research.  Jim has been shadowing Dianna for the past seven weeks and will do so for another month, learning the ropes from ‘the master’.  Jim is a great fit and possesses not only DTC’s strong work ethic, but is also a great match for DTC’s culture.  Upon meeting Jim, we immediately knew he was ‘the guy’ for the job and we are lucky to add another high caliber employee to the team.

Last but not least, Sara Voorhees has been promoted to Associate Vice President - Research.  Sara is beginning her fifth year with DTC and has become an integral part of daily operations and the research team.  In addition to many skills, her mastery of the ins & outs of the MSHA database has turned that product into a useful and sometimes tradable catalyst. Her dedication, hard work and commitment to serving DTC’s clients should be bottled and sold on ebay for millions!

Congratulations to all and best wishes to Dianna as she prepares for her second child!
