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."

-We
