Organizational Changes to Foster Expanding Insurance Industry Talent Pipeline
New York, NY (September 1, 2025) - The Spencer Educational Foundation announces the appointment of Megan Miller as its Chief Executive Officer. This newly created position heralds a significant step in Spencer’s increasing commitment to grow the pipeline of industry talent and propel future risk management and insurance leaders.
Miller joined the Foundation as its first full-time Executive Director in 2019, and she will assume the new role of CEO effective September 1, 2025. During the past six years, she has helmed Spencer’s efforts to advance industry talent via scholarships, internships, grants, and initiatives and the Board of Directors is now preparing the Foundation for its next phase of growth.
“This promotion underscores the exemplary leadership and dedication to Spencer’s mission that Megan has demonstrated,” said Johnell Holly, Chair of the Spencer Educational Foundation’s Board. “As we set the course for our next five years, Megan’s well-deserved executive title is a small component of a far more ambitious effort to grow our capabilities and raise our profile as the pre-eminent, merit-based source of educational funding for the insurance industry.”
In her role as CEO, Miller will continue to oversee the Foundation's strategic planning, fundraising efforts, and outreach initiatives, while tackling significant growth goals through 2030 and beyond. She will work closely with the Board of Directors, staff members, and community partners to advance programs and initiatives, all designed to attract and prepare new talent for the industry.
“Education is the overwhelming power that transforms lives,” stated Megan Miller. “I experienced that lift first-hand when I was a Spencer Scholar, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with our Board, our insurance industry patrons, and our incredible staff to deliver a similar advantage to the thousands of students who benefit from our funding each year.”
