Lynelle Lynch
INVESTOR ENTREPRENEUR
As an advocate for the arts and education, dedicated philanthropist and active business leader, Lynelle Lynch believes in the power of perseverance, tenacity and giving back.
She balances her philanthropic time between the Beauty Industry, humanitarian causes and the Arts. One of her earlier starts in San Diego was with the Junior League where she partnered with Kristi Pieper to launch the Volunteer 10 Connection partnering Channel 10, the United Way and the Junior League to publically raise the awareness of volunteer opportunities in San Diego!
Her passion for the arts started in the early 2000’s as she joined the board of trustees of the La Jolla Playhouse. She currently serves as Chairman of the Board for the 2019 year, a role that she previously held from 2014 – 2016. Lynelle is very dedicated to the mission of being a safe harbor for the unsafe and surprising new work. Today, the Tony award winning La Jolla Playhouse continues to attract and capture the hearts and minds of the nation’s most talented performers, thoughtful theatre critics and adoring patrons.
In addition to her service and leadership in the arts community, Lynelle took the leadership role for a chain of beauty and wellness academies in 2006- a business her husband had owned for years. Within a decade Bellus Academy emerged as the top academy in North America as recognized by the prestigious Intercoiffure Award. Lynelle’s leadership inspires staff and students to achieve their personal best. Over the past 10 years, Bellus Academy team members have placed in the nation’s most prestigious competitions.
As a member of the business community, Bellus Academy was also honored with the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce Small Business Award in 2017. For two consecutive years, Bellus Academy has received California’s highest honors for community service in the career and college post-secondary school category. The school earned the “Gold” award in 2017 and the “Silver” award for community service in 2018.
Recognizing that beauty touches everyone’s life – she was challenged with the low perception of the career. This was the catalyst that drove Lynelle to unite the Leaders of the professional industry to pay their success forward and she created the Beauty Changes Lives Foundation. To date they have raised over $6 million and given away $2.5 million in scholarships with the mission to elevate the perception of the career in beauty as a first choice career. In addition to the foundation, Lynelle is passionate for the trade colleges and serves on 3 of the national boards for higher education advocating for quality education, where she is a frequent author and contributor.
Lynelle also has a heart for helping families and children supporting her husband Bill Lynch with the Lynch Family Foundation and his passionate commitment to the Child Sex Trafficking cause by focusing on supporting victims and elevating the awareness of the tremendous harm this industry is creating for the future of our communities.
Closer to home, Lynelle recently accepted a position on the Board of Trustees for the Foundation of San Diego Zoo Global and the La Jolla Music Society. She looks forward to serving and supporting their mission.
