OAA Founder Vickie Elrod

In discussing Vickie's many achievements we'll have to just hit the high points. Let me start by saying that she is an outstanding recent President of our club. She's a 1987 graduate of Leadership Bowling Green and is the 1991 recipient of the Athena Award for Business Women. After twenty years in banking, in 1998 she went to work at Holland CPAs and is both their Chief Operating Officer and manager of the Human Resources Consulting Division. She is a cum laude graduate of WKU. Vickie is a 1968 graduate of Halls High School in Knoxville where her dad was head baseball coach at UT. Vickie has been married to her husband Robert for 24 years and they have 2 boys and 2 girls and 5 grandchildren including 3 girls and 2 boys. Vickie enjoys hiking, camping, canoing, kayaking, white water rafting, photography, scrapbooking, crocheting and doing counted cross stitch. Oh yes, she is the founder of OAA - Over Achievers Anonymous. It is like any other 12 step program. In this program step one is to do something extremely well, step two is to do it even better, step 3 . . . .
