Erika Eriksson was a four-year letterwinner (1987-90) for the Texas A&M softball program and was a member of the 1987 NCAA Championship team that went 56-8 en route to the title. The La Marque, Texas, native was also a two-time team captain for the Aggies during her time as a student-athlete.
The Aggie earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Texas A&M in 1989 and 1991, respectively. Since becoming a Former Student, she has been a leader and innovator with the Lettermen's Association, having served in various roles for the organization of the past 25+ years. In 1996, Eriksson was appointed to serve on the Board of Directors, which she still holds to this day. Additionally, she has acted as Secretary/Treasurer (2007), Vice President (2008), President-Elect (2009) and President (2010).
In 2010, Eriksson founded the Aggie Legends Golf Classic (ALGC), alongside Robert Wilson '92, and remains director of the tournament. The ALGC raised over $80,000 from 2010-15 to help fund the Jackie Sherrill Lettermen's Club construction in Kyle Field. It has also established an endowment for a Foundation Excellence Award (FEA) through the Texas A&M Foundation. FEA scholarships support outstanding undergraduates from historically disadvantaged groups often underrepresented in Texas A&M's student body, including minorities and those who face significant economic hurdles.
Additionally, the ALGC also established with the Association of Former Students the Aggie Legends Golf Classic Endowed Aggie Ring Scholarship that helps provide financial assistance to students who are seeking to purchase their Aggie Ring. Another organization the ALGC has impacted is Aggie ACHIEVE which is a comprehensive transition program for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have exited high school. Aggie ACHIEVE provides an inclusive and immersive college education and equips students for employment in the community.
Eriksson has been deeply involved with the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and has been a lifetime member of the organization since 1992. As a former Livestock Show & Rodeo Scholarship recipient, she has given back by serving in various capacities such as scholarship judge, Corral Club Assistant Division Chairman, Chairman of the Hideout Club and has been involved with the International Committee.
The La Marque High School alumna has played a pivotal role in the organization of her senior class's 10-, 20- and 25-year reunions. Additionally, since 2010, she has been the Red Suit Captain of the Krewe of Gambrinus and Knights of Momus, helping coordinate the annual Galveston Mardi Gras Parades.
Eriksson lives in Tomball, Texas, where she has enjoyed a long and successful career in the well control/oil and gas industry. She has worked for Cudd Well Control as a Well Control Risk Assessor since 2021.
