LETTER FROM THE CEO

In early 2020, the pandemic arrived in the United States. The choices made on how to deal with this unprecedented crisis not only affected the health care system they also created major ripple effects that are having a significant effect on the economy almost three years later. To reduce the spread of the virus, the government shut down large parts of the economy and flooded the market with trillions of dollars in benefit programs and financial market support intended to cushion the economic damage. As the effect of the virus moderated and the economy began to re-open, material shortages became a major problem. As supply chain lead times improved, inflation did not moderate as many experts predicted. The government responded to this persistently higher inflation by raising interest rates significantly which has placed major stress on the financial markets as well as the banking and real estate industries

with effects reverberating across all sectors of the economy. Only time will tell if the government’s choice of action to control inflation will help facilitate a softer landing or be a contributing factor in a deeper economic slowdown than was necessary. What we can say for certain is that the economic effects of how we chose to deal with the pandemic will be with us for years to come. Let’s hope that lessons have been learned that will result in better outcomes in any future crisis. Throughout these pandemic years, the DH Pace Company continued to serve its customers faithfully, worked hard to protect employee health and supported those in need through expanded charitable activities. I am thankful for the spirit our employees demonstrated and proud of what they accomplished despite the difficult circumstances.
