1998 Diecutter/Diemaker of the Year

Today, Clay is credited with being one of a handful of founding members of what was then the Diemaking/Diecutting Association.

"Frank has a deep love for the industry and the people in it," says Cindy Crouse, executive director of the IADD. "He's grateful that he's been able to make a good living for himself and his family, which is why he's given back at least as much as he's received." Dieboard distributor and fellow association founding member Eugene Piette, echoes Crouse's comments.
