Happy Retirement to Amy Jordan

Following 36 years of dedicated service to the association, Amy Jordan retired from TECA in July. Co-op leaders from across the state gathered in Nashville on Tuesday, Sept. 3 to honor the long-time TECA employee.

“Great colleague and friend,” “without fail, she always did the right thing,” “she’s the type of person you want on your side” and “she always put co-ops first” are a few sentiments that were shared during the reception.

“I am very fortunate and blessed that God put me where He did, when He did,” Jordan said. “Being at TECA gave me the opportunity to meet people across Tennessee who became friends and co-workers. They exemplify integrity and are valuable to the efforts of the electric cooperatives.”

Jordan graduated from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration-accounting. She began her journey on November 16, 1988, as TECA’s finance specialist, and, as they say, the rest is history. Jordan tackled both accounting and human resource duties for the association. Little did TECA or Jordan know though how memorable and valuable that history would be personally, for Tennessee cooperatives and the association.

“Amy’s dedication is inspiring, as she has unfailingly focused her career on the success of our association and all of Tennessee’s electric co-ops,” Mike Knotts, TECA CEO, said. “She has so much to be proud of and has demonstrated to the rest of the team at TECA what it means to work hard, work with integrity and always focus on serving others. She will most certainly be missed, and I congratulate her on a job well done.”
