Mountain States Policy Center (MSPC), the leading free-market think tank serving the Mountain West, is pleased to announce the hiring of Meg Goudy as Director of the Bill & Milly Kay Baldwin Center for Education.
Meg is a graduate of the University of Montana who began her career in education policy with the Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction. During her five years of public service, she pursued advanced studies at the University of Washington and helped implement key legislative initiatives to benefit Washington students.
After taking time off to start a family, Meg joined the national Freedom Foundation in Olympia, where she spent the next decade fundraising, managing grants, planning events, and working as a paralegal.
Now, Meg is excited to advance education reform across the Mountain States, drawing from her background in state-level education policy, nonprofit leadership, and her personal experience witnessing her son’s academic success after leaving the public school system.
“Meg brings a unique blend of policy experience, nonprofit management, and personal passion for educational freedom,” said Chris Cargill, President of the Mountain States Policy Center. “Her leadership will help the Baldwin Center become a powerful force for expanding opportunity and ensuring every child can attend a school that fits their needs.”
The Bill & Milly Kay Baldwin Center for Education is the education policy arm of the Mountain States Policy Center. The Center focuses on promoting innovation, transparency, and choice in K-12 education across the Mountain West, including Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Eastern Washington.
Its work includes:
- Research and policy recommendations that support education choice, student improvement, charter schools and innovation
- Advocating for transparency and accountability in public education spending and outcomes.
- Empowering parents with tools and information to make the best choices for their children’s learning.
- Hosting events and publishing research that highlight success stories in education innovation and parental empowerment.
