Meghan Pierce, The Forum of Executive Women

Meghan Pierce, President & CEO of The Forum of Executive Women, shared the story behind her title with us on March 27, 2024.

A lifelong champion of women’s rights and gender equity, Pierce was most recently Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, where she was responsible for the management and

operation of the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with 2,500+ members statewide.

Prior to that position, she provided strategic support and thought partnership for Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, one of New York’s premier litigation boutiques. She also served as policy communications advisor for the NYC Mayor’s Office for International Affairs. She earned a Master’s in Public Administration at the University of Pennsylvania Fels Institute for Government. While at Penn, she served in several fellowship roles at vital PA-based women’s organizations, including Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates, the Women’s Law Project of Pennsylvania, and Rittenhouse Political Partners.

“It is an honor to be selected to lead The Forum of Executive Women,” said Pierce. “I look forward to

working closely with the board to identify and evaluate the many ways this preeminent organization can make an even deeper impact within the region. Expanding The Forum’s advocacy footprint, diversifying revenue sources, developing our member base, and connecting more employers to the dynamic, experienced women leaders in our network are just a few of the areas of opportunity I cannot wait to realize."

SUE SAYS

"I sit down with Meghan to talk about her "family of feminists," the positive experience she had attending an all girls school, her time working for Mayor Bill de Blasio and something Meghan refers to as "the third space.""
