Employee Spotlight

Meet River Landing POA Coordinator Ashley Spatola! Ashley's favorite part about her job is all of the personal interaction she has with people from all over, and her goal is to always make someone's day a little less stressful. Before she became the POA Coordinator, Ashley was the Assistant General Manager at the Holiday Inn & Suites at River Landing. Her supervisor, Stephanie Durner, Director of Community Management and Marketing said, "Ashley is a valuable member of our team. She is always eager to help in any way she can and is willing to take on new challenges. Her background in hospitality is a real asset in her position with the POA, especially since she is the first point of contact for new property owners and for residents who need assistance. We are lucky to have her!" Ashley is from Crestview, Florida. She and her daughter Gianna moved to NC in 2020 when she started working for Murphy Family Ventures. In her spare time, she loves cooking, photography, watching movies, spending time with family, and her favorite food is coconut shrimp.

Safety First

Seat Belt Safety

The law requires us to wear seat belts at all times when operating a vehicle on the state highways. In our case here at Murphy Family Ventures, many of our vehicles operate off the highway more than they do on state roads. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT anyway! No matter what type of vehicle you are operating or riding on even if it is a forklift, backhoe, tractor, mower, golf cart, dump truck, etc. We put safety first.

Safety Awards

RL Golf Carts - 11 years

Quailridge - 9 years

Safety Pledge

I anticipate possible dangers in any given operation and make every effort to analyze and avoid them before starting work, including immediately communicating such to my direct report.
I am careful when using tools and use them only for the purpose for which they were designed. I look for defects. If I discover a defective tool, I will turn it in for repair or replacement.
At all times I practice good housekeeping habits. I believe in the policy of a place for everything and everything in its place.
I understand the importance of participating in company training, standard practice development, job hazard assessments, and incident investigations to further enhance overall safety.
When operating machinery, I follow all machine-specific training and requirements, recognize the hazards involved, and take necessary precautionary measures. Before starting a piece of equipment, I look it over to ensure that neither workers nor materials will be endangered. When I leave equipment unattended, I make certain that it is safely shut down. I take necessary precautions to prevent the equipment from being started by an unauthorized person.
While driving, I obey all traffic rules and regulations. I am alert to the possible inadequacies of other drivers and I am prepared to make necessary allowances for safety on the road.
I take the necessary precautions to properly attend to cuts and scratches. I am aware that by doing this, I can avoid potential infections.
I believe in wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). I am fully aware of the many times in the past when using PPE, such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves have enabled workers to avoid injury.
