Leadership Team
Meg Tully
Executive Director
Meg Tully was named as the Executive Director of the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex in April 2025. She brings with her 30+ years of nonprofit management experience, having served as Executive Director of Routt County Council on Aging, Historic Routt County and the International Erosion Control Association. Meg graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN with an English major. Tennis and pickleball are two of Meg’s favorite sports, and she excels in hitting the ball hard. Her soft game leaves something to be desired, but she’s working on it. Creating community is Meg’s professional passion, and she is proud of the fun and friendships that the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex fosters. In her spare time, Meg enjoys hiking with her dog Zion and high-altitude trekking. Summits include Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Everest Base Camp in Nepal and Iceland’s Laugavegur Trail. All of the hiking allows Meg to eat chocolate, an activity she enjoys more than the hiking.
