Ross brings an impressive résumé with a strong background in public affairs, nonprofit work, and strategic communications. She will officially take the reins on July 21.
Ross steps into the role previously held by Dr. Harry Robinson, Jr., who spent more than 50 years building the museum into the cultural cornerstone of Dallas County. He’ll now serve as president and CEO emeritus.
“As someone who has spent a lifetime building this institution, I see in Lisa the same dedication to education, a steadfast resolve to preserving our heritage, and a passion for building community,” said Dr. Robinson. “She is not only capable – she is called to this work.”

Most recently, Ross led marketing and development at Anthem Strong Families, where she helped rebrand the organization, grew community partnerships, and secured $15 million in federal funding. She’s also the former president of LJR Group, a communications firm that served everyone from cultural institutions to government agencies.
Her experience doesn’t stop at the local level.
Ross held a senior leadership role with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), managing education communications in sub-Saharan Africa. Her work there helped more than 15 million children — including 1.5 million girls — gain access to education. She’s also worked with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Urban Health Initiative and led public affairs for the Seattle Police Department.
“Lisa brings an extraordinary depth of experience and vision to this role,” said Levi Davis, board chair of the museum. “Her leadership, storytelling expertise, and deep commitment to African and African American culture make her the right person to guide the Museum into its next chapter.”
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Ross has deep roots in the North Texas arts scene. She’s helped develop strategic plans for local theaters, served on the board of Fort Worth’s Jubilee Theatre, and co-created a STEAM education program with Bishop Arts Theatre Center. She’s also an avid arts supporter and collector, particularly of African and African American art.
Ross holds a degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Texas at El Paso and certifications in international protocol and leadership strategy.
“I’m honored to serve as the next president and CEO of the African American Museum, Dallas,” Ross said. “This museum has long been a beacon of culture, education, and history in our city. Dr. Robinson built something extraordinary, and I’m committed to building on that legacy — expanding access, deepening community connections, and spotlighting the richness of the African American experience. This is more than a job for me — it’s a personal mission.”
