Advocating for Adult Education, English Language Learning & Adult and
Family Literacy
Good morning NCL board members...
It is my great honor to welcome Meghan McBride of WestEd to NCL's board.
Randy Tillery is unable to complete his term on the board, so Meghan has
stepped in to serve out his term (September 2025).
A short bio about Meghan:
Meghan McBride is a dedicated advocate for adult education with a career
spanning leadership, policy, and instructional roles in the field. As the
Senior Program Manager for Adult Education at WestEd, she leads efforts to
enhance professional development, technical assistance, and research to
support adult learners and the institutions that serve them.
Prior to her role at WestEd, Meghan served as Vice President for Adult
Education at Georgia Piedmont Technical College, where she oversaw WIOA
Title II programs. Her leadership focused on increasing access to education
and workforce pathways for adult learners, strengthening partnerships, and
improving program outcomes.
Meghan also has lived experience as a former adult learner, so she brings
a unique perspective to her work. She served as the first Alumni Advisor to
the Board of Directors for the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE),
where she elevated the voices and experiences of adult learners at the
national level. She looks forward to joining NCL's Board of Directors to
contribute her expertise in policy, advocacy, and program development to
advance literacy and educational opportunities for adults nationwide.
She is a perfect fit!
Meghan, thanks for agreeing to serve on NCL's board. We all look forward
to working with you.
(Note - Meghan works out of Atlanta (not California), so we will not need
to shift our board meeting time to accommodate a west coast time zone - at
least at this time.)
