👏 Meet the Team: Stacey McPherson, South Central US Program Manager

Stacey McPherson serves as TIPS’ South Central US Program Manager, supporting members and vendors across the region. In his role, Stacey works closely with public agencies to help simplify procurement, connect them with awarded vendors, and ensure they’re getting the most out of their TIPS membership.

With a strong focus on relationship-building, Stacey is dedicated to helping organizations navigate the cooperative purchasing process with confidence. Whether he’s assisting with projects, answering questions, or providing guidance, he’s committed to making procurement more efficient and accessible for those he serves.

Fun Fact: He recently picked flying back up after nearly 20 years and is now working toward earning his pilot’s license.🛩️ He’s also a proud granddad with two grandkids and five dogs (including three rescues), and is known for getting creative when it comes to entertaining his grandkids—even turning backyard chores into a friendly competition. He’s also traveled to South Africa, where he stayed on a private resort and was able to watch a pride of lions from the hut. 🦁

We’re grateful to have Stacey on the team and appreciate the support he provides to our members and vendors every day!

March is National Procurement Month—and at TIPS, we believe purchasing should be personal. 💙

We go beyond contracts by building real relationships that support both our members and our vendors. From everyday commodities to complex construction projects, TIPS creates opportunities for vendors to connect with public agencies through a compliant, competitive process.

With TIPS USA and TIPS Construction working together, procurement becomes more than a transaction—it becomes a partnership.

Procurement made personal. Powered by TIPS.

Meet the Team: Michael Tucker, Central U.S. Program Manager

As our Central U.S. Program Manager, Michael supports TIPS Members and Awarded Vendors across the region—building strong partnerships, providing hands-on guidance, and helping make cooperative purchasing clear, compliant, and efficient.

With a heart for service and a commitment to the TIPS community, Michael works closely with public entities to simplify procurement and connect them with trusted solutions that meet their needs.

And if you really want to know his level of dedication… he’s even willing to wear a purple butterfly shirt for the TIPS community. That’s commitment. 🦋

Fun Fact: Michael comes from a proud military family with roots stretching from New York to Washington. When he’s off the clock, you’ll likely find him at a park with his family (and Honey the Labrador) recharging for the next week ahead. A Louisiana food fan — especially during crawfish season — he’s always on the hunt for the best local coffee shop while traveling. Since joining TIPS in 2018, he’s covered more than half the country, building relationships everywhere he goes — because if there’s one thing he loves, it’s a good conversation.

We’re grateful to have him serving our Central U.S. Members and Vendors!
