We would like to introduce one of our most recent additions to our board of directors, Meggan Gray and share a little bit about her!

For 20 years, Meggan Gray was an award-winning fixture in the television news industry in south Mississippi, spending the majority of that time waking up morning viewers on the anchor desk at WLOX in Biloxi and more recently at WXXV in Gulfport. Currently, Meggan is serving as the Director of Advancement for St. Patrick Catholic High School where she advocates for quality Catholic education. Meggan is a 2009 graduate of Leadership Gulf Coast and is currently serving on the executive board for St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy in Biloxi. She has served her community by serving on various boards through the years, including Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast, and Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport. Meggan enjoys volunteering her time to emcee events for area nonprofits, and she occasionally takes the stage to sing for fundraisers. Meggan's husband, John Stolarski, is a part owner and Principal Architect at Allred Stolarski Architects in Ocean Springs. Meggan and John agree their greatest accomplishment is their three children - Austin 15, Avery 13, and Aiden 8. Meggan and her family live in Gulfport and they attend St. James Catholic Church.

We look forward to working with Meggan and the experience she brings to the Alliance!
