AAOM Auxiliary Update

June 2025

Greetings! I am Sherry Miller, the newly elected President of the AAOM Auxiliary. Allow me to introduce myself and tell you about the Auxiliary and what we do and provide for members and spouses during AAOM meetings. 

I am a landscape architect married to AAOM member Dr. Craig Miller and we live in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky. The first question most people ask when I tell them where we live is if I have a horse. Yes! Of course I have a horse! And a donkey too! I can show you photos. 

The Auxiliary plans and organizes activities for the enjoyment of families and partners attending the meetings. Our last outing was a tour of Hoover Dam near Las Vegas. We had six adults, and three children enjoy the event. As you can see from the photos, we had a great time touring the dam then having lunch together. At prior meetings we have done things like tour a chocolate factory in Orlando, took a walking history tour of Savannah, joined a walking food tour of New Orleans and visited a botanical garden in Memphis. Our activities allow lots of time to get to know other spouses, partners and families. I personally have made some lifelong friends in this group and want to help others to meet and develop these connections. 

We are already planning events/activities for the Dallas 2026 meeting; we hope more people will decide to attend and join us in the fun. We would love to meet more of you and help you have more fun attending the AAOM meetings.
