We’re incredibly happy to announce that we’re welcoming a new Chief Operating Officer at Team TLAC this morning. Cherry Thompson joins our team today and we couldn’t be more excited!

Cherry was most recently Regional Vice President at Teaching Channel, an organization we admire and appreciate. In fact we had the pleasure of working with Cherry extensively on a variety of projects and would often leave meetings saying, “You know, we really need someone like Cherry Thompson around here…” And now we’re lucky enough to have THE Cherry Thompson.

As Chief Operating Officer, Cherry will help us chart our strategic direction and manage resources so we pursue the right projects as productively as possible. She’ll help us refine our organizational structure and take a special interest in helping us grow our Reading Reconsidered Curriculum. We’re in good hands, in other words, and looking forward to serving teachers and schools as well as possible for the foreseeable future.

In addition to her five years at Teaching Channel, Cherry has been a teacher and Assistant Principal at Austin (TX) ISD and has also worked as an auditor with a major accounting firm so she brings broad experience and a top skill set to the team- not to mention the positive energy we love at Team TLAC. Welcome, Cherry.
