Security Guard
Leading the World Outdoors, Adventures on the Gorge’s company vision statement is intended to be interpreted in multiple ways. First, it illustrates our need to be the best at what we do in our industry and the need to continue to develop ourselves and our business for the future. Perhaps more importantly, our vision states that we have an altruistic goal of helping others venture outdoors, at times, in places, and in activities that will further develop their lifelong skills and increase their knowledge about nature and adventure. We benefit from a strong belief in who we are and where we are headed. We look to our vision and guiding principles as providing that sense of understanding and direction, serving as a map and compass to help us reach our full potential.
