Meet Meg McNeill!
Cohort Coordinator – Washington, DC
Meg is a double graduate and former employee of Georgetown University, where she helped advance global social justice initiatives in the Office of the President. She identified her interest in leadership development as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Caribbean, where she worked with the Grenada National Organization of Women to support local leaders advancing important work related to HIV/AIDS.
Meg and her husband Dan met as co-workers at Georgetown when she was a participant in CLA in DC (clearly a formative time!). They now live in Mount Airy, MD and have a three year old daughter and a Bernese Mountain Dog. When not chasing daughter or dog, Meg loves travel, journaling, and reading.
Meg now works in leader development for a large professional services firm and serves as a consultant and coach to her teams. She is excited to bring experiences in community development, leadership, and corporate learning to contribute to the CLA community and to journey with the DC cohort.
Who is a leader who inspires you?
I admire the leadership of Paul Farmer, medical anthropologist and founder of Partners In Health, a global health non-profit with the mission of providing a preferential option for the poor in health care. His work was rooted in his faith and his commitment to giving voice to the marginalized. As a movement leader, Dr. Farmer prioritized partnerships for scaling impact while also being willing to go it alone if needed.
Dr. Farmer passionately described the bold work of his calling in a way that invited courageous action from others. In addition to deep commitment to systemic change, he connected with patients and collaborators in a way that left them feeling seen and valued.
