Introducing our new Director of Community

It is with great pleasure that we announce Lisa Wacker is joining the Alliant Systems family as our new Director of Community, and we couldn't be more excited!

In this new role, Lisa will focus on building a robust and cohesive community of textile rental operators with a goal of enabling them to communicate, learn, share ideas, collaborate, and help one another more easily.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lisa Wacker to the Alliant family and her joining our team is a huge step forward for us,” noted Mayron Herrera, CEO of Alliant Systems.  “At our most recent conference, we announced that the development of a formal, community program for Alliant customers was a top priority. This hire is a big step in achieving that vision.”

As part of her responsibilities as Director of Community, Lisa will manage Alliant events including AlliantCon, as well as develop partnerships and sponsorship programs with industry suppliers.

For the previous 13 years, Lisa served as the Supplier Relations Manager for CSCNetwork, a national network of independent linen, textile, and uniform rental companies. 

“The role of Director of Community is a completely new position at Alliant Systems that we are very excited about”, noted Eric Smith, Director of Sales & Marketing at Alliant Systems. “Today, one of the things we see are lots of smaller, informal groups of Alliant users that are successful in sharing information with one another.  We want to take that concept and create a formal community that is accessible to all users as a valuable resource and at the same time provides valuable feedback to Alliant Systems. Lisa is a perfect fit to join the Alliant Systems team and take our community to the next level.”

Throughout her career, Lisa has excelled at building relationships with operators and suppliers as well as planning and running large conventions, educational seminars, supplier exhibitions, and networking events.

“I am excited to start this next chapter of my career with Alliant Systems and am so pleased to be able to continue to work with so many wonderful operators,” said Wacker. “In today’s business environment, our users need a dedicated resource and space to interact.  In my role, I will be working on new ways for Alliant customers to search for and share knowledge, learn best practices, provide feedback, and collaborate with other users. Ultimately, we want to empower our customers, improve their experience, and strengthen the entire Alliant community. I can’t wait to get started!”

Please join me in congratulating Lisa on her new path at Alliant!
