In this episode, we welcome Whitney Meyerhoeffer, MPA, CAE, director of communications and chapter relations with the American Mental Health Counselors Association, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, authenticity, and the power of mission-driven work. Whitney reflects on how her early advocacy efforts and rural upbringing in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley laid the foundation for her leadership style—grounded in hard work, innovation, and integrity. She shares practical insights into navigating the ever-evolving world of social media for nonprofits, emphasizing the importance of genuine engagement over perfection. We also dive into her commitment to building inclusive workplace cultures through transparency, respect, and trust, and get a behind-the-scenes look at exciting projects on the horizon at AMHCA, including a new journal platform and a strategic focus on data to better serve members.
