TTS Best is a new initiative that we announced at our 2022 Holiday Party, and we are excited to recognize the VERY BEST at TTS. Our team consists of dozens and dozens of rockstars, but we set out to name the BEST of the BEST! TTS Best was designed to recognize the TTS team members who truly stand out and excel in his/ her role. Our TTS Best was chosen by the Executive Team from a group of peers from their division or department. We are proud of our TTS Best 2023 winners, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish in 2024!
