AAC Staff & Leadership Updates

The Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission (AAC) is pleased to announce leadership updates as we continue our mission of developing and upholding rigorous standards for Ayurvedic educational programs.

Dr. Lisa Cavallaro will be stepping back into the position of Executive Director, where her extensive experience and leadership skills will continue to guide the organization forward. Additionally, Maeve Mangine, who has worked alongside Lisa as AAC's Communications Manager for the past two years, will be expanding her role as the new Assistant Director.

With Lisa and Maeve's dedication and broadened scopes of work, combined with the commitment of our Board of Directors, AAC is well-positioned for continued growth and advancement. We remain focused on ensuring high standards of Ayurvedic education and supporting our candidate schools through the accreditation process in the coming months and years. 

We are looking forward to the important work ahead: strengthening community connections, expanding our network of schools and programs, and working together to advance accreditation and further the growth of Ayurvedic medicine in the USA.
