Cooperative Crew

Our

Core Values

Adaptable

We embrace change, learn from setbacks, and thrive when challenges arise—growing stronger through every obstacle. We shine when the odds are stacked against us.

Partnership First

We believe in a win-win-win mindset: for TVC, our shareholders, and our vendors. We act in good faith and work side-by-side, because we’re stronger together.

Truly Care

We are purpose-driven and lead with heart—showing genuine care for our shareholders, their teams, their communities, and one another. We truly care about TVC, our mission, our vision, and the cooperative spirit.

Gets After it

We take initiative, think creatively, and turn challenges into opportunities—with energy, optimism, and a bias toward action.

Cheerleader

We have genuine excitement about each other’s wins. We celebrate wins big and small, lift each other up, and believe in the power of encouragement and shared success.
