Candace Carlisle
Box Office Manager
Candace Carlisle (Box Office Manager)
is an Administrative Assistant in the Department of Theatre
at TCU. Recently she served as an Administrative Assistant
to the Temerlin Advertising Institute in the Meadows School
of the Arts at SMU. In her role as Administrative Assistant,
she served as the assistant to the Institute’s Distinguished
Chair & Director, Dr. Patricia A. Alvey, as well as
being responsible for all student-related matters within
the Institute and event management for all events hosted
by the Institute. The main event she was responsible for
was the ExxonMobil Lecture Series which focused on ethics
in advertising, media and communications. The most recent
lectures featured SMU alum Hal Curtis, Creative Director,
Wieden + Kennedy and Gary Knell, CEO, Sesame Workshop.
Oh, and Grover made an appearance too. Prior to that,
Candace served as the Manager of Volunteers & Youth
Services at the Louisiana Capital Area Chapter of the American
Red Cross in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. There she worked in
a supporting role to all volunteers associated with the
chapter. There were two main groups of volunteers she supported.
First, the disaster volunteers who responded to disasters
of all types and scales, 24-7, 365 days a year. On average,
LCAC volunteers would respond to 400 single family emergencies
in a single year in the 10 parish area that the chapter
served. These same volunteers also respond to disasters
that affected the community at large – including tornados,
flooding, tropical storms, hurricanes, etc. The other group
of volunteers were the health and safety volunteers who
came together to provide first aid support to all LSU home
football, basketball, softball, and baseball games, as
well as any other events where their services are requested
in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area. These volunteers
came together to form the single largest first aid station
operation in the American Red Cross every home football
game at LSU in cooperation with LSU, East Baton Rouge Emergency
Services, East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, East Baton
Rouge Police, Louisiana State Troopers, and Acadian Ambulance.
Away from the office, you will find Candace and her husband,
Fernando, living their beloved South Louisiana lifestyle
complete with: a love for all things LSU, a Cajun microwave
(that’s still waiting on the hog their neighbor promised
them), an iron cauldron that will serve 100 people jambalaya,
impromptu dinners for friends, a Wrangler 4x4 to get them
to where they need to go, and a Labrador named Keely. To
them it’s not heaven, its joie de vivre.
