Hi! I'm Megan Klein and I'm the new Senior Grassroots Director covering Colorado and Texas. Since we're new around here, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and the new Director of Government Relations, Rebecca Levin. You'll notice emails coming in from us asking for your help on various AHA initiatives in the future, and we wanted to introduce ourselves and invite you to tell us more about you!

Why is working at the American Heart Association important to you? Health impacts everyone in a family and I want to help people live their healthiest lives by promoting good policy.

Hometown: Austin, Texas

Why is working at the American Heart Association important to you? My Uncle Jeff died of complications from Tetralogy of Fallot when he was in his teens - long before I was born. It's the same congenital heart defect Jimmy Kimmel's son had, but thanks to modern medicine and I'm sure in big part to the Heart Association, Jimmy Kimmel's son will be just fine. I'm proud to work for an organization that works hard every day to improve the lives of so many.
One of the things I'm most looking forward to as I settle in to my new position is being out in the field and meeting YOU!
Thanks for everything you do, and please introduce yourself when you see us at an event!
