Eileen A. Olds (Col ’79) is 46th president of the American Judges Association. The group serves as the "Voice of the Judiciary" and aims to promote and improve the effective administration of justice, maintain the status and independence of the judiciary, provide continuing education for its members and the general public and allow for the exchange of ideas among judges. In 1995, Judge Olds was the first female judge in the First Judicial District of Virginia and one of two African Americans appointed that year. She remains the only female jurist and currently presides as a judge of the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, having served four years as the chief judge.
