Our Team

Annette Miller currently serves as Conference and Association Manager at Oak Ridge AMC.

Before joining Oak Ridge in 2018, Annette worked in Nashville’s legal community for nearly 25 years, with more than 15 at the Nashville Bar Association and 9 at the Tennessee Bar Foundation. Her work at the NBA involved typical association management, including event planning, membership, continuing education, and board/committee/volunteer management for multiple entities. Annette always enjoyed the variety of the work at the NBA and interaction with the members on a regular basis. At TBF, a grant-making entity which oversees one facet of attorney licensure, Annette worked with attorneys and with nearly 200 banks across the state.

Annette was born and raised in Virginia and attended Trevecca Nazarene College (now University) in Nashville. She fell in love with the city and stayed in Nashville after college. Her hobbies are reading and collecting recipes (only a few of which she ever uses— although she loves to cook). She is married to her husband Paul, and between them they have three wonderful children.

Teresa Roland is Education Director at Oak Ridge Association Management. She comes from the Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association (AOMA). Teresa was with AOMA for 15 years starting as an Administrative Assistant and working her way up to the Director of Education. Prior to AOMA she worked at AT&T and High Achiever’s Network.

Teresa was born in Farmington, Michigan but has lived in Arizona since she was 7 months old. She has been married to her husband Ron for 28 years and has three adult children Tyler and twins Kyle & Sara.

Before joining Oak Ridge in 2024, Jenna owned and operated her own small business, Drunken Donuts. From creating over 40+ recipes for her mini donuts with an alcohol glaze to streamlining logistics to designing all brand content, Jenna truly did it all. Through this, she discovered a passion for marketing, branding and events. In 2021, she joined The Family Center, a local non-profit, working in Marketing and Development creating all marketing materials and organized all fundraising event logistics.

Jenna also coaches middle school and high school club volleyball and loves watching any and every sport in her free time. Last year, she read over 250 books so she’s always ready with a book recommendation or two!
