Megan Legacy, Chief Executive Officer

Megan Legacy has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the San Antonio Hope Center since 2012. Born and raised in Colorado, she began her career in Washington, DC, where she worked for the US Senate and then later for a government relations firm. In 2018, a three-day mission trip into the Anacostia neighborhood in DC was the catalytic experience in her life that inspired Megan to dive into the nonprofit sector to be a change agent for others.

In 2009, Megan moved to San Antonio and worked for three years as the Development Director for Haven for Hope, one of the country’s largest homeless organizations. For the past ten years, Megan has led the effort to change the model from a food pantry to a multi-faceted social service model focused on ending poverty. In her leadership at SA Hope Center, the organization has won the 2016 Bank of America Neighborhood Builder Award.

Megan holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Colorado State University and a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Megan is an alumnus of Leadership San Antonio Class 38, is a board member of Proper West, a board member of Unicity, and attends Community Bible Church.

Megan loves calling Texas home for the past thirteen years. She enjoys cooking, traveling, reading, politics, and spending time with her two kids, Bryson and Harper.
