Of the many great educators Meg remembers, one of her favorites was Miss Larsen, who frequently led her class of second graders in musical noise-making. While Miss Larsen played her orange upright piano, her students banged enthusiastically at a variety of percussion instruments. Miss Larsen also let students choose their own extra-credit spelling words – including supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
As Chief Operating Officer, Meg oversees the Foundation’s communications, resource development and organizational planning efforts, ensuring that everyone is seamlessly working together to keep the promise of public education.
Her 25 years of experience in nonprofit management and resource development and her education background in public policy give her the skills to build the Foundation’s partnerships and strategy. Meg sees public education as a cornerstone of democracy and believes that educators are key to building quality public schools.
Possibly as a result of Miss Larsen’s musical encouragement, Meg loves to see live music and goes to numerous performances each year.
