The first OAC president, charter member, phenomenal businesswoman and educator, Soror Anne Mitchell Felder, believed in the long-distance magnificence of the current extraordinary chapter of 180+ women as far back as 1954.

Today, almost 57 years later, OAC celebrates the 23 accomplished past presidents, all powerful purposeful women of God, known for their grace, dignity and strength.  These amazingly gifted activists diligently continued to build on the previous accomplishments of their visionary predecessors, allowing OAC to indisputably affirm its current premier distinction of excellence in the state of Florida.
