JUST IN: Lyndsay Cruz Exits ACM Lifting Lives
Lyndsay Cruz
ACM Lifting Lives’ Lyndsay Cruz has stepped down from her position of Executive Director after six years with the organization.
Under Cruz’s leadership, Lifting Lives generated more than six million dollars in funding, with over four million dollars from its COVID-19 fund providing assistance to more than 2,000 individuals. As the pandemic subsided, the organization shifted focus to mental health, establishing a dedicated fund that has awarded $400,000 in grants to support mental health initiatives within the country music community.
“This organization has touched so many lives and will continue to do so,” she says. “I am beyond proud of what we accomplished over the last six years helping our community in their greatest time of need. It’s been wonderful to witness the positive changes ACM Lifting Lives has had in this industry and I’ll be honored to watch it grow and succeed.”
Cruz began her career as a political appointee under President George W. Bush, serving as an Advance Representative for the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Vice President. She later joined the international nonprofit Oxfam America, where she spent 13 years creating and managing their first-ever public figures ambassador program. After Oxfam, Cruz transitioned to independent consulting, working with numerous nonprofit organizations on major events and fundraising initiatives.
She is currently exploring new opportunities and can be reached here.
