Lyndsay Cruz Leaves Post as ACM’s Lifting Lives Executive Director

ACM's Lifting Lives executive director Lyndsay Cruz left her post. She has led the Academy of Country Music's philanthropic arm since 2019.

Lyndsay Cruz, who has served as executive director of the Academy of Country Music’s Lifting Lives philanthropic arm since 2019, has stepped down. “Some of the moments that stick out in my head over the past few years include our Covid fund, mental health focus, music therapy programs and mostly, the industry and artists stepping up to support Lifting Lives with their time and resources. Cruz says she hopes to continue to work in philanthropy as she believes deeply in the mission of such organizations as Lifting Lives — as both executive director and someone who needed help.
