Shea Ishee has been promoted to Vice President of the American Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA), a Memphis-based trade association of cotton merchants and related industries.

In this new position, Ishee will play an integral role in all association activities including member service, operations, policy development, and advocacy.

“Shea has been a key part of our success, and we were thrilled to promote her to this well-deserved position,” says Buddy Allen, President and CEO of ACSA. “Our team and the membership of ACSA are lucky to have such a committed advocate working on their behalf.”

Ishee joined ACSA in 2020 as Director of Information Management and quickly displayed leadership, oversight and management of several key association functions that led to this promotion. She earned both her undergraduate degree in Environmental Economics and Management and her master’s degree in Agricultural Economics from Mississippi State University. She represents Women in Cotton on their Americas Working Group and has been nominated by industry leadership to serve on the Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee to the United States Department of Agriculture.

Founded in 1924, ACSA members collectively handle the vast majority of U.S. cotton production and foreign growths traded globally. The organization’s services include merchandising, delivery logistics, and risk management.
