At TVMDL, we know it’s not the tests we run, or the technology utilized that really makes TVMDL excel. It’s the people. We count ourselves lucky in that those who were instrumental to the creation, development and success of our agency served for several years – many for decades – and retired from our agency. TVMDL celebrates its 50th anniversary and recognizes that those who have come during the first 50 years are the reason we are successful today.
