Parks! America, Inc., a leading owner and operator of drive through safari parks, today announced that Lisa Brady has stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective today, June 14, 2024. This decision follows a comprehensive and productive proxy battle, culminating in a strategic realignment that positions the Company for continued growth and success.

During Ms. Brady's tenure, Parks!

"Despite many of the headwinds we have experienced over the last 18 months, leading the teams at Parks! America has been an incredible journey, and I am so proud of what we have accomplished together," said Ms. Brady. "It has been a great honor to work with our dedicated teams at each park and all of our stakeholders and I am confident the foundation we have built has poised the Company for its next phase of growth.”
