Thriving Through Change and Adversity to Serve Members and Missions

October 15, 2025

with Megan Killian, CAE, IOM

Megan Killian, CAE, IOM, is Executive Vice President at the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), and while she found the association industry by serendipity, she has built a reputation over her tenure as someone unafraid to pivot as the times evolve rapidly.

In this latest edition of the Six Degrees Associations Podcast, presented by Big Red M and hosted by Lucas McCann, we explore her journey, including many situations where she has helped spearhead change in the face of adversity—and, as we learn in this chat, the tax landscape is no stranger to challenging times.

Make sure to stay tuned until the end, as Megan discusses her tongue-in-cheek dream of an association industry musical and what that would look like with all the characters who call this great industry home!
