We recognize that each employee has the ability to inspire and motivate others and serve as a catalyst for change. We are ac- countable and take responsibility for our decisions and actions.
• Excellence: We value pursuing and exceeding high expectations and developing distinctive and quality programs and services through origination and continuous improvement.
• Diversity and Inclusion: We value the uniqueness of people and individual perspectives. We embrace and celebrate one an- other’s differences, talents, and abilities.
