Join us in celebrating the unique stories and perspectives of OTG’s diverse team members through our Crewmember Spotlights. This November, in honor of Native American Heritage Month, we proudly recognize the heritage, culture, and contributions of Native American and Indigenous Crewmembers who are an integral part of our community. Native American Heritage Month is a time to honor the history, traditions, and lasting impact of the first peoples of this land. It’s an opportunity to reflect on their resilience and celebrate the richness they bring to our shared culture. At OTG, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is valued and celebrated. Discover our Crewmember stories below!
