Innovation and a spirit of unyielding enthusiasm are at the heart of Elaine Osgood's success. With a bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a master's degree in Psychology from Anna Maria College, she decided to employ her knowledge of people in an entrepreneurial venture. Purchasing a Uniglobe Travel franchise in 1986, Osgood achieved every honor the franchiser had to bestow including Chairman's Circle, President's Award, Owner of the Year, #1 Agency in America and #2 in the World. In 1997, Osgood left the franchise world behind and led her team into the global arena as Atlas Travel International, ready to compete with the largest agencies. The agency now has a headquarters operation in Milford, MA and a second office in downtown Lexington, MA. In that location, business and vacation travel share space with a concept store, Savvy Travel Shop, which Osgood opened to offer easy-care ladies fashion and accessories, as well as a full assortment of upscale travel goods.

During the agency's 20th anniversary year, Osgood was named Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in New England. She has also been distinguished as a Top Business Builder in North America by Fast Company magazine, one of the 100 Most Powerful Women in Travel by Travel Agent magazine, and a member of the prestigious inaugural Inc. 5000 by Inc. magazine. Continuing with her desire to remain an active and involved member of the community, Osgood serves as a Corporator of Milford Regional Medical Center and has chaired its black-tie fundraising gala committee since the Mélange event launched several years ago.
