AnsonEDP’s own Megan Sellers (right) was named Co-Young Professional of the Year, along with Plank Road Forestry’s Ashley Scarborough, at the Anson County Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Dinner on October 18th.
Megan has served as Existing Industry Coordinator for AnsonEDP since December of 2016, and was instrumental in several major economic development announcements over the past 18 months. She was also one of the organizers of YP Anson, the young professionals organization that has taken a leading role in making Anson County a more appealing and vibrant place for young individuals and families to call home.
“Megan is an exceptional individual and a real asset to the organization,” said John Marek, executive director of AnsonEDP. “It’s not often you come across someone who is able to pick up the nuances of the economic development profession in such a short time.”
Marek says her abilities are best illustrated by a story from earlier this year. “We both attended the NCEDA Annual Conference in June, but were on different tracks. Megan was on the Emerging Executive track, which started with a community service project a few hours earlier than my Executive track. When I arrived at the conference center, a steady stream of colleagues came up to me, told me they had met Megan and how impressed they were with her. You just don’t see that in this profession.”
A native of Clemson, South Carolina, Megan has lived in Anson County for the past 15 years and was previously employed by the Anson County Partnership for Children and an optometrist office in Monroe.
