2023 Year End Message

Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues and Clients,

 We hope this message reaches you at the end of a productive and fulfilling year. Our team is grateful to be ending its sixth full year working alongside trusted colleagues on projects that positively impact our community.

 It's been a busy year: CDIM added a scientist and engineer to our team; we won a new $2.5M contract for a long-term client and a $0.5M contract with a new client; and, we continue to nurture a network of clients and partner firms by executing environmental projects with diligence and integrity. Through efficient business operations, we have also had the opportunity to continue to make donations to our partner charitable organizations: PanCan Network and SFCASA.

 As the year winds down, we write now to express gratitude to all our clients and partner firms for trusting us, and to wish you a peaceful close to 2023 and prosperity and joy in the year to come!

 Thank you,
