The Tellico Village POA has announced the immediate resignation of CEO Chet Pillsbury. The board of directors shared the news through a community update, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him well.
Tellico Village POA Ensures Operational Continuity
With Pillsbury’s departure, the Tellico Village POA board has started the search for a new CEO. In the meantime, executive staff will oversee daily operations, with the board providing oversight to ensure a smooth transition.
A POA representative assured residents that all departments would continue functioning as usual. Department directors, managers, and supervisors are well-equipped to maintain regular operations.
Pillsbury’s Tenure and Contributions
Pillsbury served as CEO for two and a half years following the retirement of Winston Blazer. Before this role, he worked in property management across metro areas, resort properties, and condominiums.
During his time as CEO, he played a key role in the reconstruction of the Tanasi Clubhouse, which suffered fire damage in 2022. Under his leadership, the POA officially broke ground on the project in December.
Pillsbury also addressed infrastructure concerns, particularly the community’s water and sewer systems. In October, he proposed a water authority to help manage the estimated $31 million needed for sustainable infrastructure improvements.
The POA has assured residents that updates will be provided as they continue the search for new leadership.
