Strategic Facilitation Consultant & Association Management Specialist
About Me
Megan MacNee, CAE
After beginning her career as a legislative staffer, Megan stumbled her way into Association Management and found the world she didn't know she was looking for. Now over a decade later, she has worked on just about every aspect of what makes up associations and non-profits.
​
Starting her association career at the California Building Industry Association she went on the work at Donate Life California, before joining the Advocacy & Management Group. Megan now serves as a Senior Association Executive working as Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director to national and state associations.
​
In her role, she manages the top-to-bottom operations of her client organizations including teams running membership, programs, events, education, governance, accounting, and more.
Additionally, Megan provides consulting services beyond her full-time clients providing guidance in strategic planning, leadership development, executive coaching, and more.
​
You’ll also find Megan speaking on topics from strategic planning and leadership to how associations must change to address the changing world.
​
Early in her association career, Megan realized as much as she loved her 9 to 5, she also had a passion for exploring the world and in 2014 created Traveling Nine to Fiver. A blog focused on travel for the full-time professional. She had the opportunity to work with brands and properties around the world and inspire young professionals to get out and travel.
​
Now she is back to share how she's integrated her passions into a full life at her 9 to 5 and beyond. Keep an eye out for resources for the traveling professional, strategic association, and non-profit management, and how Megan can support your organization and your career.

Megan holds a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Southern California and became a Certified Association Executive in 2022. She earned her B.A. in History from the University of Redlands.
