9 Joshua T. Hamilton President, Clinton Mills Division Clinton is committed to continuous training and to providing each Associate with an opportunity to upgrade skills. This year we will again provide an education pro gram in which Associates can broaden basic education skills, work toward a uED or participate in other areas of educational training. During the 1992/93 academic year, Clinton Mills will offer the most broadened educational opportunities ever to Associates. This emphasis on educational improvement and training comes at a time when the skill requirements for most jobs are greater than ever before. New machinery, such as that now being installed in the Bailey plant, requires a much higher level of skills than the equipment it replaces. The expansion of the Bailey plant is on schedule. When complete, Bailey will house 188 Picanol Air Jet Looms serving the Apparel and Home Fashion markets. The Bailey plant will truly be a world class manufacturing facility. As we continue our quest to be the Preferred Supplier in the increasingly competitive textile marketplace, we must do more than purchase new machinery. Quality and ser vice are our selling points. Quality First Teams have met with much success, but we must continue to do more. All of us are responsible for quality. . . in our yams, fabrics and services. Each of our plants in the Clinton business unit is to be commended for the efforts being put forth to achieve Preferred Supplier status. Changes in the way we operate are essential, and I’m confident each of us see the benefits of all the efforts put forth to improve our operations. Thanks to all who have participated on a Quality First Team, and to all Associates for their support of our quality efforts. The 1992-93 United Way Drive has begun in Clinton. This year Clinton Mills is serving as the Laurens County Pacesetter. Your support of this most worthwhile community effort is necessary for a successful United Way drive. Your generosity has been outstanding, you have my sincere appreciation. Doss and Vaughan Promoted Kim Doss has been promoted to Office Manager of CMI Industries, Inc.
