Executive Director
Lisa Pierce
Lisa’s involvement in pageantry began when her daughter, Morgan, was Miss Montana Teen USA 2020. She was recruited to work as a volunteer with PageantsNW, the Executive Directors for the Idaho, Washington and Oregon USA state pageants, fell in love with pageantry, and the rest is history. In addition to her role as Executive Director for Limelight Enterprises, she also works as a producer for PageantsNW and Smoak Productions, producing state pageants for Miss Washington USA/Miss Washington Teen USA, Miss Oregon USA/Miss Oregon Teen USA, Miss Idaho USA/Miss Idaho Teen USA, Miss Nevada USA/Miss Nevada Teen USA and Miss Utah USA/Miss Utah Teen USA. Lisa just finished her second consecutive year as a ticketing coordinator at the Miss Universe pageant.
Along with her daughter, Morgan, who reigned as Miss Montana Teen USA 2020, Lisa is the founder of the Morgan Pierce “Every Body Is Beautiful” Award, which will be awarded for the first time at the 2024 Global Beauty Awards in April. The award promotes body positivity in pageantry. She was also nominated for the “Best Rookie Director/Producer” Award for the 2024 Global Beauty Awards.
In addition to pageants, Lisa has worked in a variety of professions, from TV news broadcasting and film and television production to real estate and teaching. But her favorite role by far is that of “mom” to her 20-year old son, Truman, and 19-year-old daughter, Morgan. She loves challenging herself to achieve new goals and believes you are never too old to pursue your wildest dreams. In her free time, she loves to travel and explore new cities.
