Vicky Smitley

Vicky Smitley has over 27 years with Hearthside Food Solutions and its predecessors. Worked in the industry starting with a local contract packager that grew into a billion-dollar colossus. 2018 Vicky’s induction in the CPA Hall of Fame was predicated on her tireless energy and talent serving the Association membership for more than 15 years.

She served as a Director since 2010 and as an officer with terms as the Association Treasurer, Vice President, President, and Immediate Past President. She was instrumental planning, improving, and executing the CPA’s Annual Meeting year after year. Vicky is a detail oriented, results driven professional but it’s her immense passion for the CPA members that helped break new ground for the organization by pushing the CPA into areas that continue to deliver value not only for the CPA membership but the industry. Vicky’s impact will be felt long onto the future of the CPA.
