American Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA), a Memphis based trade association primarily made up of cotton merchants, has announced the promotion of Shea Ishee to vice president. Ishee will have an integral role in all association activities including member service, operations, policy development and advocacy.

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

Ishee joined ACSA in 2020 as the director of information management and quickly displayed leadership, oversight and management of several key association functions that led to this promotion, ACSA said in a media release.

Ishee 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.

The ACSA is a trade association primarily made up of cotton merchants founded in 1924. Collectively, the members handle the vast majority of US cotton production and foreign growths traded globally.
