Karen Dunlap has worked in the travel industry since 1976. Karen earned her degree in Business Management, with an emphasis on Personnel, from the University of Maryland. Her entry into the travel industry as an agent trainee, more than twenty years ago, has led to a succession of increasingly challenging positions, culminating in her current role as Executiv Vice President.

As a Executive Vice President, working closely with the President and the Vice President, Karen has strongly influenced the development of a more “structured” environment at TSG, including; an employee productivity program with bonus incentives, the employee of the month award, the annual employee awards program, a new employee orientation program, a measurable quality controls program, standardized employee performance review procedures, and a revised policy and procedures manual. In addition, Karen oversees the management and staff of TSG. Karen’s background in personnel management has given her the skills and abilities to successfully develop and carry out the necessary training and developmental programs for the TSG staff. Karen has worked hard to empower the branch managers and encourages them to use a strong “team oriented” approach to servicing the needs of their valued clients.

Karen’s gift for recognizing talent has resulted in TSG’s employing some of the most talented and productive agents in the Washington metropolitan area. It is Karen’s belief that “We are what we sell and we are the best!”
