Nickole Lanham is departing as a Director of the Lisle Alumni Carlin Nalley Foundation Board after over three years of loyal and energetic service to our mission.  ​

Nickole is a 1996 graduate of Lisle High School who was elected to the board in November 2020.  She has added tremendously to the growth of our organization and the engagement of the Lisle Alumni in our CNF events.  Among her many significant contributions, she shared the leadership for planning and organizing “Together Again,” our fifth All Years Reunion in October 2022, and recruited many sponsors to our last three annual golf outings. 

We will miss Nickole’s enthusiasm and positive energy as she focuses her efforts on her family and a new professional opportunity.  We greatly appreciate what she has meant to the foundation. We look forward to seeing her at our alumni events and are glad she will continue to be an advocate for our cause. 

Thank you, Nickole.  With deep gratitude,

The Carlin Nalley Foundation”

She also contributed this personal reflection about how much it has meant for her to be part of our undertaking with CNF.  

“I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to traverse the intricate journey within this exceptional board. Each interaction was a brushstroke, painting a canvas of learning, growth, and shared accomplishments. As I step away, my heart overflows with appreciation for the wonderful experiences, and incredible colleagues. The echoes of collaboration and shared achievements will forever resonate within me. Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to contribute to the extraordinary journey of the Carlin Nalley Board and Foundation," Nickole C Lanham.

​Thank you for supporting the Lisle Alumni Scholarship program of the Carlin Nalley Foundation. Because of you, we can provide nine scholarships to our outstanding and deserving Lisle High School seniors this year. Each of these scholarships is for $4,500, an increase from last year's $4,000 each. 
Our 2023 year-end fundraiser, “Partners for Excellence,” was our most successful campaign ever, topping the 2022 campaign by nearly twenty percent!
