Friday Follow: Get to know AFCPE's new Director of Marketing & Communications
My Name: Tara Meehan
My Work: Director, Marketing and Communications
My Roots: Born in Brooklyn, NY, went to college in Boston, and currently live in North Carolina, about 30 minutes from Asheville. I was raised by a single mom who could have benefitted from sound and affordable financial guidance, which is one of the reasons I was drawn to financial services marketing.
My Passion: There are probably too many. I’m passionate about self-improvement and professional development, being a great dog mom, supporting the NY Mets and NY Jets, my family tree, and staying mentally and physically fit.
My Favorite Quote: This is subject to change. Right now, it’s the following quote from Matthew Hussey, “You don’t have to make yourself smaller to make someone else feel comfortable.”
My Hobbies: Writing, listening to true crime podcasts, fencing, boxing, and running.
What led you to AFCPE? I hadn’t heard of AFCPE before the interview process. As I did more research, I could feel the authentic commitment to advancing financial education and coaching to all. Now that I’m here, I can see the team living AFCPE’s mission every day, and it motivates me to share that dedication with the public.
What are you most excited about in your new role? I’m excited to elevate and amplify the mission of AFCPE, support our teams in any way, and help make financial professionals and individuals seeking personal finance guidance aware of the value of the AFC. Everyone has been and continues to be so welcoming. I’m thrilled to be here.
