Meghan Milloy

Founder & Executive Director

Meghan Milloy is the co-founder of Republican Women for Progress (RWFP) and was previously the Chair of Republican Women for Hillary (RWFH).

In her day job, she serves as the Director of Strategic Communications at the Institute of International Bankers where she is responsible for creating and executing the organization’s communications strategy, both externally and internally, and including stakeholders ranging from Congress and the Administration to international bank CEOs. Prior to joining the IIB, Meghan was a Robert Bosch Fellow based in Berlin and Frankfurt where she worked in Germany’s Ministry of Economics, focused on trade policy, and at the Deutsche Börse Group, working with their regulatory strategy and compliance teams.

In her afternoon job, she contributes to DC’s premier food and lifestyle blog, The Hungry Lobbyist, where she leverages her almost-refined palate and insatiable need to take pictures of food into a productive use of time. A lover of listicles, she once received national acclaim for her ranking of all the flavors of La Croix.

Long ago she was the Director of Financial Services at the American Action Forum (AAF), a center-right think tank that provides data-driven insight to today’s policy challenges where she managed the entirety of AAF’s activity in its financial services and housing finance policy portfolios. She has also worked as a Presidential Management Fellow working at the Small Business Administration and later at the House Committee on Small Business. She was an intern at the National Republican Senatorial Committee and in the George W. Bush White House. She also worked in the office of Majority Leader Trent Lott and has volunteered on the campaigns of Haley Barbour, George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Hillary Clinton.

Meghan graduated magna cum laude with degrees in Economics, Political Science, and a minor in Italian, from the University of Mississippi, and she earned her J.D. from Pepperdine University, where she graduated with exactly no honors but helped to start a microfinance program and learned to surf. She is a member of the California bar, and her preferred airline is Delta.
