Cara Morris joined USA Lacrosse as comptroller in 2000. After working at a publicly traded manufacturing company — where “the numbers were just the numbers” and sometimes required 18-hour days to compute — she longed for a change.

“My goal was never to stay at USA Lacrosse for more than three years,” Morris said.
