Delivery Experience
Megan is currently serving as the Chief of Staff to the North America region and works alongside the leadership team to execute top priorities for the region.
Previously, Megan worked on a team to support the Local Infrastructure Hub (LIH), leading the design and delivery of technical assistance programs to help small- and medium-sized cities access federal infrastructure funding. In this role, she worked to engage city leaders, foster peer learning and coaching opportunities for cities, and coordinate with subject matter experts to provide tailored grant support and guidance on how to best leverage infrastructure funds to deliver substantial impact to residents (especially in the areas of equity and climate).

Additionally, she facilitated the Agency's transition from in-kind food baskets to cash-based transfers for more than 250,000 refugee recipients of social safety net assistance.
