ACS is Celebrating 20 Years with 20 Questions: Lori Ward

This year, ACS turns 20! We’re celebrating with a game of “20 Questions,” featuring some of the people who’ve inspired us the most during our two decades in business.

Featured Guest: July 2024

Lori Ward, Chief Talent and Equity Officer (retired), Cleveland Metropolitan School District

Why we love Lori:
Lori Ward is funny, kind and humble – but don’t for one second mistake that for weakness! She’s smart, determined, strategic, persistent, and one of the strongest women we know. Throughout her 27-year career as a teacher and administrator in two Ohio public school systems, she maintained an unwavering belief that she could make a positive impact on the lives of all of the young people in her care – which she undeniably accomplished.

Lori’s featured answers:
Best book you’ve read lately?  I’m very hooked on Stacy Abrams’s books, and have been researching her background and motivation.

Favorite vacation spot? Any island!
