Vicki Louis
Vicki has had a diverse and satisfying corporate career which allowed her to use her organizational skills in a myriad of ways. Most of it was spent in the Information Technology world where she spent over 30 years as a computer programmer and project manager. Known for her programming, intense testing, and organizing skills, Vicki was one of the Lead Project Managers on the Year 2000 conversion effort for the Claim Financial System at American Family Insurance. As a result of spending over 25 years at American Family, Vicki was the recognized expert and go-to person for the Claim Payment & Audit Systems. She also worked a great deal in the financial checkout area as well as helping helping detect fraud for the Internal Audit Department.
Bit by the “organizing bug” in college, Vicki was the Project Manager for all the events at the weekend long Homecoming Celebration at UW Whitewater her Senior year. After college she was the Assistant Manager at Modern Bridal, and then a Manager for a Claims and Adjustments Department for a manufacturing firm in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. This led to an opportunity to learn how to program computers, where Vicki truly found her niche.
Her personal resume includes helping several people organize their personal records and finances. She has also been involved in multiple coordination, downsizing and moving projects, which included home improvements and upgrades to homes prior to sale. She has been the Executor of multiple Estates, which included coordinating the emptying and selling of multiple homes. She has also lent her skills as Wedding Coordinator, Family Reunion Coordinator, and has done multiple Celebration of Life events.
After over 30 years as a programmer and project manager, Vicki and her husband Mike (also a retired programmer) retired to Egg Harbor in Door County, Wisconsin.
Her passion in Door County is to help people wherever her organizing skills can be used. Since moving to Door County, Vicki is currently helping reorganize one of the Village Offices, and has organized several events for her church, including Scavenger Hunts and Trivia Contests. Vicki also recently helped organize two successful Silent Auctions at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. Her latest endeavor is learning WordPress and doing Website development to help promote businesses in Door County.
