A Salute to Margaret Tullis
This month the POA
Board would like to spotlight Margaret Tullis, our Ghertner & Company
On-Site Property Manager.
Margaret has been married to Reggie Tullis for 52 years. They have three sons and six grandchildren. Reggie is a Portfolio Manager with Ghertner
& Company. Reggie and Margaret
live in Brentwood. Their son, Chuck, his wife, Keelie, and their 13-yr old twins, Madden and Macie,
live in Hanover, PA, where Chuck is SVP of UTZ Snack Foods Co. Greg,
his wife, Lauren,
and their children,
Abbie, Parker, and Rylee, live in Conroe, Texas,
where Greg has served in law enforcement for 11 years. Margaret and Reggie's
oldest son, Butch, passed away in May 2000. Butch's son, Austin,
lives in Franklin and is a freshman at Austin Peay in Clarksville. Margaret also has a miniature pinscher
who she loves dearly.
Margaret has served in the hospitality and retail industries for 25 years. While in the hotel industry,
Margaret worked with Drury Industries in Cape Girardeau, MO and Ramada
Inn in Nashville. Margaret was also a part owner/manager of small
motel in Hendersonville. During
this time, Reggie changed
careers, and they relocated to Birmingham, Houston,
and back to Nashville. Upon their return to Nashville,
Margaret worked as a manager of the Bombay Co. Cool Springs store,
where she received accolades
for "Highest Sales in
Southeast Region" for multiple years.
At the end of 2006 Margaret
decided to retire. Margaret quickly discovered that retirement was not for her and decided to seek part-time
work. Margaret says, "Be careful what you pray for, as it may come quickly." Reggie
came home from
work soon after and informed
her that Ghertner
& Company was looking to fill a part time job for an on-site
manager of the Governors Club.
Margaret was quickly interviewed by Ghertner & Company and the POA board at the time and started as the on-site
manager in March 2007.
Margaret's main objective
is to provide daily on-site
man management assistance and to support
homeowners with any questions or needs that they may have. She ensures that the property is being taken care of appropriately by all vendors who support the neighborhood- security, landscaping, ARB professionals, pool maintenance, mansion maintenance and repairs, fitness center maintenance, building
sites, relations
with Kemper, etc. Margaret
can be seen daily driving
the
neighborhood to ensure everything is in order and ensure there are no issues in the neighborhood. She is an unbelievable asset to this neighborhood. The POA board greatly appreciates all that
she does. She is very organized and communicates
and handles issues very efficiently.
In her leisure time Margaret
enjoys travelling to Pennsylvania and Texas
to visit her grandchildren and taking cruises.
Her
favorite place to visit is Hawaii.
Reggie begged Margaret for years to travel to Hawaii,
and on their 40th anniversary, their children surprised
them with a trip to Hawaii. Since then they have traveled
to Hawaii three times. Margaret
also
enjoys reading,
working in the yard and, of course,
shopping. She enjoys
watching her favorite football
team in the fall - the Tennessee Vols. Margaret
and Reggie attend Brentwood Baptist
Church. "Margaret is thankful to God, Reggie,
and the residents of TGC for allowing her the opportunity to be a part of
this wonderful community, which she appreciates regardless of the situation or issue."
Margaret -We sincerely appreciate all that you do for this community. You are a joy
to work with and a fantastic asset to this neighborhood.
