MILLERSVILLE, MD -- Travel Advantage Network (TAN) recently welcomed Controller James M. McQuide to its team. McQuide heads finance and accounting departments for the wholesale-priced condominium vacations company serving nearly 50,000 families and individuals worldwide. He oversees 14 employees, as well as all financial aspects for TAN’s portfolio of more than 500 condominium units, and the company’s two, wholly owned resorts, throughout the continental U.S., Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean.

McQuide has an extensive background in accounting, finance and administration. He is a graduate of the University of Vermont, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration; and, at St. Michael’s College in Winooski, Vermont, he received a Master of Science degree in Administration. With more than 20 years of experience and a penchant for nurturing growing companies, McQuide has already begun to streamline TAN’s accounting methods. He’s accomplished in managing change, negotiations and team building, while possessing a strong desire to lend his expertise to all aspects of TAN’s operations.

“I’m very excited to be working at an established, but innovative company such as Travel Advantage Network.” This is a truly fun place to work, with people who really care about improving the lives of clients through great vacations. I’m looking forward to helping the company in its growth and success,” says McQuide.

He and his wife moved to the Baltimore area 14 years ago, when he was offered the position of Credit Manager for Digital Equipment Corporation (where he completed Digital’s World Class Leadership Program). Says McQuide, “Until 1990, we had lived only in Vermont; the adjustment to Baltimore’s climate and culture was quite a change. Now we wouldn’t dream of moving back!”
