👏 Big shoutout to our board member Cliff Hovis for being featured in The Wall Street Journal in a powerful piece on workforce development and the future of the trades. Cliff and his brother Curtis are not only building a successful family business — they’re building opportunity. Their commitment to growing Hovis Auto & Truck Supply isn’t just about parts, it’s about people, and ensuring the next generation has a path to prosperity through the trades. “I want them not to struggle trying to achieve an American Dream that I believe is harder to get than ever,” said Curtis Hovis. “I no longer need to work. I could retire. I could sell. But my brother and I want to continue to grow the company so our children can take it over and do better than we did.” The trades are critical to our economy, and stories like this reinforce the importance of investing in skilled workers, supporting family businesses, and ensuring that opportunities to thrive remain accessible. Thank you, Cliff and Curtis Hovis, for being a passionate advocates for the trades and for leading by example.
