<description><![CDATA[<strong>Salt Lake City &ndash; October 2009</strong> &ndash; CLEARLINK employees and their spouses enjoyed dinner and a private concert given by songwriting legends Loggins and Messina at The Grand America Hotel as contributors to The Regence Caring Foundation for Children (<a href="http://www.caringfoundationforchildren.org" target="_blank">www.caringfoundationforchildren.org</a>).&nbsp; The foundation is a non-profit organization providing free dental care services to children with severe needs. The Foundation specifically provides services to low-income children in Utah whose families cannot afford private coverage, but receive no government assistance. The dental care provided helps children suffering from untreated oral disease, dental related school absenteeism, weight loss, costly emergency room visits and life-threatening infections.&nbsp; &ldquo;CLEARLINK generally focuses its charitable contributions on programs that allow people to reach their full potential&rdquo; said Cammie Cable, CLEARLINK VP of Human Resources, &ldquo;anything we can do to make sure Utah&rsquo;s children have basic life essentials helps us reach that goal.&rdquo; <br />
&nbsp;<br />
CLEARLINK&rsquo;s contributions will ensure that over 50 Utah children will receive critical dental care for an entire year.&nbsp; A good cause, dinner, drinks, and a great concert were not the only things CLEARLINK got out of the evening however, they also emerged victorious after a heated auction and walked away with dinner and a Utah Jazz game in a private suite when the team faces Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat in January.&nbsp; Aggressive auctionee and CLEARLINK Director of Sales, Aaron Hansen, summed it up well, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s great to have so much fun and know that at the end of the day, events like this help Utah kids.&rdquo;<br type="_moz" />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<h3><strong>CLEARLINK</strong> CEO Phil Hansen Shares the Secrets of his Success with University of Utah Juniors and Seniors.</h3>
					<p>Salt Lake City, UT - April 2009 - Martyn Kingston, Professor in the Department of Marketing at the University of Utah invited CLEARLINK CEO, Phil Hansen, to speak to his Principles of Marketing 3010 classes about his successful marking endeavors since being a student at the University nearly a decade ago.  Phil remarked on the obvious changes since he was a student at the U; high-tech classrooms, students taking notes on laptops, &quot;and a good football team!&quot;
&quot;When I was starting my first company as a junior here, the world was at the peak of the internet bubble. The very word internet held an almost magical connotation; nobody even had a website yet.&quot; The relatively young CEO recounted. &quot;Some buddies and I started a web development business where industry standard was to charge companies insane amounts of money to build basic word-and-photo websites that could be built today for less than a hundred dollars.&quot;</p>
					<p>Phil used this story as a segue into the importance of timing and opportunity in business; one of several key concepts he touched on in his short time with the students.</p>
					<p>Reaching out to a young talent pool is something that Phil believes in as a core principle of success.  He often refers to one of his favorite quotes by Pearl S. Buck, &quot;The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation&quot;</p>
					<p>Professor Kingston looks forward to having Phil as a regular guest speaker in his classes at the U in the fall of 2009.  CLEARLINK has an ongoing interest in partnering with the University to provide guidance and real-world experience to students.
