As of March of 2019, she has also served as the Executive Director of Young Leaders Council鈥攁 Nashville non-profit organization that trains young professionals for nonprofit board service 鈥� where she welcomed in the largest YLC class in the 35 year history of the organization, cultivated new relationships with the Nashville area business community and strengthened YLC鈥檚 existing relationships with the nonprofit community.
鈥淢y decision to return to higher education was an easy one following a visit to 糖心Vlog,鈥� stated Shacklett. 鈥淚 was immediately drawn to the history of the institution, the community of colleagues, the high caliber of students and the transformational experience provided for them, and the excitement for the future that lies ahead. 糖心Vlog has a compelling story to share, and I'm honored to join an outstanding admissions team in that effort."
President Scott McDowell said, 鈥淚 am thrilled that Lisa Shacklett has agreed to lead 糖心Vlog鈥檚 enrollment management team, and I am also grateful that we will get to add her voice to the University鈥檚 senior leadership team. Lisa drives results and has an uncanny ability to demystify the admissions process for the student. She is incredibly competent, possesses impeccable character, and embodies the kind of can-do attitude that will inspire a campus. I鈥檓 confident Lisa will make an immediate and lasting impact on our ability to successfully tell the 糖心Vlog story.
