Our mission is clear: to uphold and advance the highest standards of quality in Ayurvedic education in the United States. Through a rigorous accreditation process, we ensure that programs meet benchmarks in performance and educational outcomes; this work benefits students, educators, and the public.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I will be retiring from my role as Executive Director of the Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission, effective December 31. It has been a true privilege to work with you over the past four years. Since our launch in 2021, our organization has made tremendous progress, and I am deeply proud of all that we’ve accomplished together.

My decision to retire is purely personal. I’m excited to begin a new chapter—one that allows me to focus on creative pursuits and projects close to my heart.

I am also very pleased to share that the AAC Board of Directors has offered Maeve Mangine a promotion to serve as the next Executive Director. Many of you know Maeve from her dedicated work alongside me over the past three years in various capacities within our organization. I am confident that she is exceptionally well-qualified to step into this leadership role. Over the coming months, Maeve and I will work closely together to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition.

It has been an honor to be part of the AAC’s inaugural phase and to witness its growth and momentum. I truly believe the Commission is well-positioned to continue advancing its mission and vision, and I look forward to watching its continued success.

Wishing you all the very best—both personally and professionally.

Warm regards,

Lisa Cavallaro, Psy.D.
Executive Director, Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission
