Patricia "Trish" Anne Oelrich

AACMI is deeply saddened to announce the passing of longtime Board Member and cherished friend, Patricia "Trish" Anne Oelrich on Thursday, August 22, 2024 after a long battle with cancer.

Trish was born on September 3rd, 1953, in Chicago, Illinois. She was the first in her family to graduate college (Western Illinois University). She began her successful career at Ernst & Young, reaching partner during her 19-year tenure. Trish blazed her own trail east to Princeton working 14 years for GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals as a Vice President. Rather than retiring, Trish earned a Ph.D. and an M.A. in Human Organizational Systems from Fielding Graduate University and ascended to the boardroom serving in many roles (FHL Banks, USA Technologies, Inc, Pepco Holdings, Inc., Board of the Association of Audit Committee Members, Inc., Chair of the Board for the NACD New Jersey Chapter, and member of the Women Corporate Directors Philadelphia).

Trish loved art, classical music (learning to play the piano as an adult) and traveling the world with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

"I originally joined the AACMI in 2006. The organization remains as relevant today as it was then, delivering quality and timely information. The September 2022 Annual meeting was a valuable opportunity to hear from audit and regulatory experts and socialize with like-minded audit committee chairs and members."
