“Having hands-on national and international strategic public relations experience really benefits those clients who can see the next level but need professional support to get there,” explains Handlin. “When it comes to communications plans there are no out-of-the-box solutions, it must be customized to the unique needs of every client and requires a collaborative relationship, which is what makes my work dynamic and rewarding.”

Meg presently serves on the MPRC Board of Directors, and for the last seven years she has donated her communications skills as an Executive Team volunteer for inABLE.org, an international nonprofit founded in 2009 to empower blind and visually impaired students in Africa through computer assistive technology.
