Audrey Lane

As a native South Carolinian, Audrey currently utilizes her talents, professional experience, and passion for community empowerment to influence the landscape of Charleston, SC’s public education system. Currently, she is the co-founder and Executive Director of E3 - Educate, Empower, and Elevate Foundation, an organization with an intentional focus on creating high-quality educational options for Black and Brown students with the desires and needs of parents and families at the center of this work. In addition, she is a founding partner of E3Management, a Black, women-led consulting group founded in 2016. With over 55 years of cross-sector experience, E3M provides organizations responsible for making the lives of Black and Brown children better, a tailored approach to achieving equitable outcomes. We do this through our continuous improvement cycle where we: 1) listen and assess; 2) co-create solutions to achieve equitable outcomes; 3) implement those solutions, and 4) evaluate the results.

E3's guiding principle, that those most impacted by systemic inequities - people of color- must be at the center of all decision-making, is not merely our North Star, but it is our fundamental approach to the work and is what sets us apart from the competition.

Prior to launching Lane Equity Enterprises and E3, Audrey was the Chief of Access & Equity for the SC Public Charter School District (SCPCSD), the Executive Director of the Royal Foundation, and the Deputy for Human Capital Development for the Charleston County School District. Audrey has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Florida A&M University, an MBA in Marketing Management from DePaul University, and is a 2010 graduate of the Broad Residency for Urban Education. She is the proud wife of Martin and SuperMom to Moses and Micah.
