The 40 Under 40 award is an award that recognizes rising stars under 40 years old in the economic development industry. Megan Delgado is a Senior Project Manager for NLEP’s Business Development Program, where she oversees the timely completion and successful submission of responses to requests for proposals. She also plays a key role in strengthening NLEP’s project management support for potential prospects.
Megan also earned her MBA in Project Management from Louisiana State University Shreveport and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from Midwestern State University.
"Economic development is a purpose-driven field that shapes communities worldwide, and young professionals are at the heart of that impact," said Julie Curtin, president of DCI’s economic development practice. President and CEO of North Louisiana Economic Partnership, Justyn Dixon, speaks very well of Megan and explains her work ethic and her tenacity is what makes who she is today.
Award winners were announced Sunday at a reception hosted by DCI and Jorgenson at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C.
