In 2017 – 2019, she served as the director of the sponsorship committee. She was recently elected to Director-At-Large for SMPS Atlanta’s brand-new Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion committee. Her main goal is to build trust, create a culture of belonging and create a sustainable DEI program that’s enriching for all members. She is thrilled to help bring a diversity and inclusion lens to the development of most of SMPS Atlanta’s committees.

In her leisure time, Felita enjoys traveling (especially to the beach) and playing golf with her husband. One fun fact about Felita is that her theme song is “Love is All Around” from the old sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore show. Her favorite part is the chorus, “You’re gonna make it after all.”
