Rossville Business and Professional Women President Bettye Dunwoody, left, presents the RBPW Businessman of the Year Award to Rossville’s Tennessee-Georgia Memorial Park owner Terry Nida for his outstanding community service work in the city of Rossville.

In addition to running the historic Tennessee Georgia Memorial Park, Terry Nida works tirelessly behind the scenes to benefit the community.

Rossville Exchange Club President Ken McCollum said Nida helps with all REC charities, from getting backpacks for underprivileged children at the elementary schools to ringing bells for The Salvation Army.

“Terry has always stepped up and helped with these efforts and he does so with the greatest attitude in the world,” said McCollum. “It shows you his spirit of volunteering and how much it means to the community.”

For all his hard work and dedication, the Rossville resident was recently named the 2016 Rossville Businessman of the Year.

“Terry, we appreciate all you do for the community,” said Susan Tankersley, a member of the Rossville Business and Professional Women, which bestowed the honor.
