Lisa Sherman will become the president and chief executive of the council as of Nov. 1, succeeding Peggy Conlon, who said in late April that she would retire after 15 years at the helm. Sherman had most recently been executive vice president and general manager of the Logo cable channel, which is owned by Viacom. Before that, she held senior posts at the agency now known as Hill Holliday and the telecommunications company now known as Verizon. She also helped found a marketing company, the Women’s Sports Network.
