text: competitive markets. Guy is an excellent 
  fit for this role on many levels and the entire 
  Board look forward to his leadership for 
  many years to come. 
  
  I would encourage you to review the 
  discussions around our corporate governance, 
  community investments and sustainability 
  initiatives later in this annual report. First class 
  corporate governance practices have always 
  been a strong tenet at Rogers, and as an 
  entrepreneur founded and family controlled 
  company, our Board takes pride in what is a 
  proactive and disciplined approach to 
  ensuring that our governance practices 
  continue to justify the confidence of the 
  public capital markets. Giving back to the 
  communities we serve is also an important 
  part of our culture at Rogers and the Board is 
  very proud of the significant initiatives and 
  investments which the company undertook 
  over the past year on the corporate social 
  responsibility front. 
  
  I would like to thank Rogers’ 28,000 
  employees for their ongoing dedication to 
  our customers and striving to make Rogers 
  better every day, my fellow Board members 
  for their counsel and drive towards delivering 
  continued value to our shareholders, and 
  you our shareholders for your continued 
  investment in this great company.
