Ep. 21: Megan Huffman, Expanding Community Involvement for a More Inclusive Lynchburg
Megan Huffman is the Director of Community Outreach for the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation. She is also the driving force behind Share Greater Lynchburg, a platform that creates a one-stop shop to easily connect the region’s non-profits with local neighbors and businesses. But there’s so much more to it than that. In short, Share Greater Lynchburg makes it effortless to get involved and make a difference.
Megan’s excitement, passion, and gift of vision for Lynchburg – today and its potential for tomorrow – are magnetic. She sees the 30,000-foot view and is a genius at spotting opportunities for impactful connections.
Megan’s love of Lynchburg is so powerful that she might as well be called the “unofficial closer” who could easily seal the deal with any potential businesses and organizations looking to establish here.
