Taking Care of Business
Inspired by Elvis Presley's personal motto, TCB ("Taking care of business in a flash") is Presidio's adopted rallying cry to think creatively and go the extra mile. Awarded monthly to the hard working men and women in Presidio's field operations, the monetary prize plays second fiddle to the recognition for a job very well done. Congratulations to all of these Presidio leaders!
