"Leading with Passion: The Dedicated Team Behind Fairview Youth Athletic Association"

Fairview Youth Athletic Association

Fairview Youth Athletic Association is led by a dedicated group of parents, community advocates, and lifelong athletes who believe recreational sports should be exciting, organized, and impactful for both players and families. Our leadership team brings lived experience, creativity, and a shared commitment to restoring pride, structure, and opportunity within youth athletics.

Vee Whitaker

​

Vee Whitaker’s story in athletics began long before she ever stepped into a leadership role. A naturally gifted athlete, she spent her early years immersed in sports, competing in cheerleading, track, and softball. One of the most meaningful chapters of that journey took place at Hidden Valley, a park within the Fairview community—making her return to Fairview not just leadership, but a full-circle moment.

Vee attended Florida A&M University and Georgia State University, where she majored in Journalism and Communications. Before taking to the skies in aviation, she spent the majority of her professional career in the radio and television industry, learning how to tell stories, connect communities, and amplify voices. Those skills now serve as a cornerstone of her leadership—bringing clarity, transparency, and purpose to everything she does.

While building a successful career as a flight attendant, Vee’s passion for athletics never faded. That passion reignited when she and her husband returned to youth sports to support their children. What began as a parent’s involvement quickly evolved into leadership, as they helped cultivate a championship-winning baseball program in Henry County—proving that recreational sports can be both competitive and community-centered.

Known for her hands-on leadership and unwavering advocacy for players and parents, Vee brings energy, structure, and vision to Fairview Youth Athletic Association. Beyond the field, she is a wife, a mother of four, and a dedicated flight attendant, balancing family, career, and service with intention. As President, her mission is clear: to restore excitement, organization, and pride to recreational ball—and to make Fairview a place where kids love to play and families love to belong.
